Settling for More: Matching Newcomers to Alberta’s Tech Sector (ICTC)
The report first covers labour demand among Alberta’s digital economy employers, and compares this to the supply of available talent among newcomers, finding that soft skills are in high demand and that newcomers are often overeducated and underemployed. The report then covers six challenges to newcomer participation in Alberta’s digital economy.

This report is an assessment of earlier recommendations on mental health, skills and work policy.
