The Association of Nova Scotia Community Learning Organization (ANSCLO) is an umbrella organization representing 27 Community Learning Organizations (CLO) in Nova Scotia. CLOs across Nova Scotia use Federal/Provincial Labour Management Agreement (LMA) funds to provide programs that address literacy and other essential skills to help their learners obtain new or better jobs. Many learners attending CLO programs funded under the LMA are either unemployed or under-employed.
The current federal Labour Management Agreement (LMA) ends in March 2014 and will be replaced by the Canada Job Grant program as announced in the 2013 federal budget. The goal of this “short duration training” is to ensure that skills training funds are being used to help Canadians obtain qualifications they need to get jobs in high-demand fields. This is a significant change in focus from the original intent of the LMA, which was designed to help provide training to those who need it, including under-represented groups.
The Dartmouth Learning Network and ANSCLO are looking to gage your understanding of the Canada Job Grant and how it will impact your business (the hiring, and training employees). We would ask that you take a few moments to answer the nine questions in the survey link below; this should take no more than five minutes of your time.
