AMSC Training & Development Working Group

The purpose of this committee is to meet regularly to discuss collaborative cross-sectoral training and development opportunities that will meet the needs of the partners that we represent and to build a community of practice within the membership of the Alliance of Manitoba Sector Councils. A collaborative approach allows us to maximize funding dollars, add value to our training initiatives and programs and share best practices with one and another. As representatives from each of the AMSC member organizations, the working group seeks to find innovative, effective and efficient ways to partner and collaborate on new and/or existing cross-sectoral initiatives and opportunities and share lessons learned and best practices with each other and other partners, stakeholders and jurisdictions/regions. The committee also seeks helpful ways to meet the professional development and training needs of the AMSC members.

Do your employers know, recognize and capitalize on the skills and experience already existing in their work places?

AMSC in partnership with WPLAR would like to invite you to a session to discuss the potential for recognizing and capitalizing on that prior learning.

As Manitoba Sector Councils, we share a commitment to promoting productivity and competitiveness, strengthening the skills of our work force and responding to labour market challenges.  This session is an important opportunity to help your employers deal with the skills and labour shortage challenges that will only intensify with a recovering economy.

Please join your fellow colleagues in learning more about how other Manitoba employers have applied Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and in reflecting on potential benefits for your member employers.

The session has been designed for AMSC member Executive Directors and/or Training Coordinators/ Managers and will be facilitated by WPLAR Manitoba.
