Employment

The job market in South East Alberta is hot! There are lots of great career opportunities in many different industries from trades to healthcare to manufacturing and many, many more. There is demand for all levels of positions, too, from entry-level to senior positions. Check them out!

Local businesses offer employment to a number of people in our community. Rosemary School also provides job opportunities for a number of professional as well as support staff. Rosemary is in the heart of the Eastern Irrigation District that provides water to irrigate thousands of acres of farmland. The result is a semi arid area that blossoms like a rose resulting in employment opportunities on a number of farms and other agro-businesses. Although the opportunity for employment within the Village of Rosemary is somewhat limited there is a huge demand for both skilled and casual labour throughout the region. The oil patch employees many hundreds of people and Lake-Side Packers, located near the City of Brooks, is one of the largest beef processing plants in Canada with many hundreds of employees as well. Numerous other businesses in the area offer job opportunities for many more people. Currently there is a big shortage in the labour force of our area.
