Learning: What are Alberta Companies Looking for from their students and new employees?

This question is asked to the Technology Alberta Talent Team all the time, and the answer is: Motivated Work-Ready Self-Starters!

Alberta Tech Companies are looking for their students, and all employees to be productive – which means:

  • Seek ways to contribute
  • Get started
  • Finish on a timely basis!

Solid contributors are an asset to every team, especially when you are working for a small-to-medium-sized business(SMB), where everyone can – and does- make a difference.

Clayton Coutu
My entry into industry was facilitated by the FIRST Jobs program. Through my initial project with Fourien, I had the opportunity to demonstrate my technical and leadership skills, resulting in the permanent position from which we created Aro. What I especially appreciate about Fourien and Aro is how quickly we can go from concept to prototype to working design — to iterate using the equipment at hand.
