Applying for the Program Step-by-Step
Getting started with the Rural Alberta EDP is simple. Here’s how it works:
- Check your eligibility by reviewing the program criteria.
- Contact your local Community Futures office or fill out our contact form.
- Discuss the program with your local EDP Coordinator and if it’s the right fit for you, complete a brief Participation Agreement.
- Meet with a coach where you’ll select your coaching package and create a coaching plan that fits your goals and circumstances. You can apply for up to two coaching packages each Program year (April-March).
- Receive coaching sessions in a structure that works for your situation — flexible, supportive, and tailored to you.
