The Centre for Learning and Development (CLD) is responsible for supporting government to ensure the provision of compliance-based learning, and contribute to the professional development of the core public service.
The Division has developed information technology and other organizational development infrastructure to support the following:
- executive mentorship, development and training;
- competency-based learning and development (e.g. administrative support professionals);
- leadership and management development (including mandatory management training);
- employee onboarding and orientation; and
- specialized curriculum development to meet specific priorities (e.g. financial management; occupational health and safety; harassment-free workplaces; ATIPPA).
The CLD also oversees administration of learning and development for employees; tuition assistance across core government; and the administration of government’s Learning Management System (LMS).
In addition, the CLD collaborates with government departments and agencies to ensure that learning and organizational development initiatives are aligned with the strategic and human resource plans specific to the department or agency. These include mandatory learning required by legislation, critical certifications for individual employees to practice an occupation, interventions that address current departmental issues, and/or initiatives associated with the introduction of new program policy and planning guidelines / regulations.
