The Alberta Public Service works to build a stronger province for current and future generations. We make a difference in the lives of Albertans through rewarding and diverse career opportunities.

The team ensures legislation and policy align with ministry and government priorities. This policy development work impacts multiple ministries, stakeholders and Albertans, with broad social and economic outcomes.
