Employment Case Study: Enhancing the employability of older workers & caregivers
The University of Alberta is sharing years of study findings with Caregivers Alberta and MyMatchWork, an Edmonton tech startup, to help carers find meaningful work.
Together they’re creating a new module geared to the needs of working carers for MyMatchWork, whose cloud-based software platform already includes technology to identify work opportunities and connect other marginalized groups experiencing barriers to work
The research collaboration with academic institutions like the U of A and groups like Caregivers Alberta offers a dynamic mix of partners that boosts capacity in the non-profit sector and the MyMatchWork.com platform.
The project is supported by funding from AGE-WELL NCE, as well as expertise from MyMatchWork.com, Caregivers Alberta, Alberta Seniors and Housing, Carers Canada and The Vanier Institute of the Family.
