Apprenticeship Delivery Services (ADS) Advisor — Government of Alberta, Fort McMurray Full Time

Apprenticeship Delivery Services (ADS) Advisor — Government of Alberta, Fort McMurray

If you know Alberta’s skilled trades world — or you want to — this Fort McMurray role puts you right in the middle of it. The Government of Alberta is hiring an Apprenticeship Delivery Services (ADS) Advisor for its Advanced Education ministry, a permanent, full-time position based in Fort McMurray. You would be the first point of contact for apprentices, employers, sponsors and training providers who need clear answers about how apprenticeship actually works.

Quick job overview

What the job looks like, step by step

Step one is the person in front of you. Apprentices and prospective apprentices come to you — some from outside Alberta — wondering how to register, what comes next, and what they still need to finish. You guide them through registration and explain each stage: classroom instruction, examinations, on-the-job training, academic upgrading, and what sponsors and apprentices are each responsible for.

Step two is the paperwork behind the promise. You assess applications, process apprenticeship documents and completion hours, review classroom instruction, amend programs, and support examinations in the office. Accuracy matters here, because a trainee’s certification path depends on records being right.

Step three is the advice itself. You explain certification options in plain language — Blue Seal, Red Seal, Qualification Assessments, Prior Learning Assessments and competency portfolios — and you interpret the Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship Education Act, trade regulations and program policies consistently, so clients get the same answer no matter who they ask.

Step four is how you deliver it all: through the 1-800 contact centre and at the in-person client counter, working with employers, sponsors, AIT Officers, training providers, unions, trade associations and labour brokers. Occasional travel may be required.

What you need to apply

You need a high school diploma and at least two years of related administrative experience, proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook), and a Class 5 driver’s licence. Equivalencies are considered: one year of experience for one year of education, or the reverse. Experience with apprenticeship programs, skilled trades or certification, public-facing client service, and explaining legislation or complex program requirements to clients is considered an asset, as is experience reviewing applications and training records for accuracy.

Salary and terms

The employer-stated salary is $1,918.46 to $2,427.46 bi-weekly, which works out to $50,071 to $63,356 a year, for a permanent, full-time role at 36.25 hours per week. Benefits and relocation support are not specified in the posting, so nothing is claimed here beyond the salary and the permanent, full-time terms above.

Work permit / visa note

Visa sponsorship and work authorisation are not specified by the employer in this posting. If you need work authorisation for Canada, check your own eligibility before applying — JobsRivo does not promise sponsorship for this role.
