Major Projects are moving in Northeast Alberta — and workforce readiness will determine who can compete and deliver.

Join us at the St. Paul Recreation Centre, 4802 53 Street, St. Paul, AB, on Thursday, February 19, 2026, for the N.E. Alberta Major Projects Exchange.

We are focused on preparing the region’s workforce for major project demand.
This event will:

● identify labour shortages and recruitment barriers tied to major projects
● connect employers with training providers and workforce supports
● highlight certification and training pathways tied to readiness and safety standards
● strengthen partnerships that support local hiring and retention.

✔️ Financial Management
✔️ Legal & CRA Fundamentals
✔️ Agribusiness & Agrifood Opportunities
✔️ Workforce Development
✔️ Workplace Culture
✔️ Cultural Awareness
✔️ Employee Health, Wellness & Mental Health
✔️ Crime Reduction & Community Safety

✔️ Regional Workforce Trends & Resources
✔️ And more!

But the Summit is about more than presentations.
- Build new business connections

- Find resources to help your business grow
- Connect with organizations that support employers
- Explore our Exhibitor Trade Show
-Take advantage of additional networking opportunities

We know it's not always possible for business owners and employees to step away during regular business hours. That's why we're offering programming on both Friday and Saturday, giving you more opportunities to participate.

Strong businesses build strong communities. This Summit is about bringing knowledge, resources and connections closer to home so our businesses don't always have to travel to larger centres to access professional development and support.
