For over 50 years, CLRA has brought contractors, owners and skilled trades together to build Alberta’s economy and strengthen our construction industry. Through strategic partnerships with government, educational institutions and industry leaders, we’re building the workforce Alberta needs – today and into the future.
Our lead role in labour relations and workforce strategy is core to achieving our mandate to foster productive relationships between employers and unions, support policy that drives growth and help build a resilient, future-ready workforce.
Workforce Development: We champion innovative solutions to attract, train and retain skilled trades workers across Alberta, from apprenticeship programs to funding opportunities like the Workforce Development Trust and the Canada-Alberta Productivity Grant.
Strategic Partnerships: By fostering collaboration between government, educational institutions, and the skilled trades, we create solutions that benefit the entire construction sector.
Industry Leadership: We advocate for policies that support workforce growth, stable infrastructure investment, and a competitive future for Alberta’s unionized construction industry.
