Community Futures Entre-Corp receives $300K to support manufacturing workforce development

Community Futures Entre-Corp has received $300,000 in funding to support workforce development and tariff resilience initiatives for manufacturers across southeast Alberta.

The funding, provided in part by the Government of Canada through the Canada-Alberta Workforce Tariff Response, will support a two-year program delivered in partnership with the Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium (EMC).

EMC is a national organization focused on manufacturing competitiveness, supporting industry members through workforce development, collaboration, and access to sector-specific expertise and resources.

As part of the initiative, a full-time position will be created to connect local manufacturers with training, industry expertise and workforce development resources designed to boost long-term capacity and adaptability.
