The Centre for Workplace Skills (CWS) is offering a series of business workshops across the country that will promote the importance of workplace training to help business prepare for an economic upturn.

The CWS will share training tools, resources and best practices with companies, especially small and medium-sized firms, that can support their training efforts.

 The workshops will be customized to local needs, and can be combined with other local events to fit best with local schedules.

The Centre for Workplace Skills, formerly the Work and Learning Knowledge Centre, is an initiative led by the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters and the Canadian Labour Congress.

 Those interest in hosting a workshop through their local  Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade should contact Derwyn Sangster, Business Liaison at the CWS, at  613-241-3222 ext 4250.
