EDMONTON – Alberta companies are being encouraged to hire locally for jobs in professions hit hard by the economic downturn.
Under the federal-provincial program companies cannot apply to hire temporary foreign workers for 29 occupations.
The list includes engineering managers, contractors, machinists, plumbers, carpenters and oil and gas well drillers.
The governments say under the pilot project it will be easier for employers to recruit Alberta workers for jobs.
