Tech employment job gains in 2022 are projected to total 432 in Edmonton, beating out Calgary’s 219 increase.
The report predicts that four subsectors could drive significant employment gains in the province in coming years, including financial technology, health tech, clean technology and agtech. Several people interviewed for the report in Edmonton said that retaining recent post-secondary tech graduates is a challenge facing local employers which may be due to a misconception that there are not enough Edmonton-based tech companies to work for. The report’s authors say employers in the Edmonton region suggest a need for further collaboration among industry, governments and academia to fill coming employment needs.
