Calgary, Alberta

Canada Advantage, a leading immigration and employment agency, is thrilled by the recent announcement made by the Alberta government introducing a Hospitality and Tourism Pathway Initiative. This initiative, designed to address workforce shortages in the hospitality sector, presents exciting prospects for international students who have pursued studies in hospitality-related programs.

Amidst evolving economic landscapes and shifting employment trends, the Alberta government’s Hospitality and Tourism Pathway Initiative emerges as a timely solution to address critical labor shortages in the hospitality sector. By creating streamlined pathways the initiative aims to harness their skills and talents to meet the growing demands of Alberta’s vibrant hospitality and tourism industry.

“Canada Advantage commends the Alberta government’s forward-thinking approach in bolstering the hospitality and tourism sector through the introduction of the Hospitality and Tourism Pathway Initiative,” said Ms. Vangie Caoile, President and CEO of Canada Advantage. “This initiative holds immense promise to so many, including international students, offering them a clear pathway to meaningful employment opportunities within Alberta’s dynamic hospitality landscape.”

Many international students are attracted to Canada’s hospitality and tourism programs, drawn by the country’s reputation for world-class hospitality services and unparalleled tourism experiences. However, the economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic have underscored the need for innovative strategies to support students in transitioning from education to employment.

Canada Advantage recognizes the inherent potential within the hospitality and tourism sector and underscores the importance of providing international students with avenues to leverage their skills and experiences effectively. The Hospitality and Tourism Pathway Initiative presents a unique opportunity for students to channel their passion for customer service, cultural understanding, and organizational management into rewarding careers within Alberta’s thriving hospitality industry.

“By establishing dedicated pathways in the hospitality and tourism sector, the Alberta government is not only addressing immediate labor shortages but also fostering resilience and inclusivity within the workforce,” shared Caoile. “We are excited to collaborate with stakeholders to those who arenavigating this pathway and accessing rewarding career opportunities.”

Canada Advantage stands ready to assist candidates for this pathway, offering tailored services encompassing career guidance, job placement assistance, and immigration support. By leveraging its expertise and resources, the agency is committed to empowering applicants to embark on successful careers in Alberta’s vibrant hospitality industry.

As the Alberta government rolls out the Hospitality and Tourism Pathway Initiative, Canada Advantage remains dedicated to working collaboratively with industry partners, and government agencies to ensure its success. With a focus on promoting diversity, inclusivity, and economic prosperity, Canada Advantage continues to pave the way for many to achieve their aspirations in Canada’s dynamic labor market
