MyMatchWork
May 11, 2022

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.
