TalentED helps Calgary area employers access future-ready talent. We work with employers to create paid and unpaid work-based learning opportunities, such as placements and projects, for youth (aged 18-24) to fill skills gaps and address organizational needs.
The TalentED Matching Platform was developed to help deliver on this purpose. The platform’s AI-powered skills matching technology and built-for-purpose features will enable more and better connections between employers and the youth talent they need.
Projects allow youth to apply job-ready skills to address a specific challenge or problem for an organization. Solutions can be developed individually or by a group.
Placements offer supervised, hands-on experience within an organization. They allow youth to apply and gain job-ready skills through different tasks and/or projects.
TalentED is an initiative led by Calgary Economic Development.

The Province of Alberta is working in partnership with the Government of Canada to provide employment support programs and services.
