This document brings together a number of articles that deal with the tools, programs and resources developed and delivered by Canada’s sector councils. Sector councils are industry-led partnership organizations that address skills development issues and implement solutions in key sectors of the economy.

The articles are grouped according to four themes: job-ready education; supporting diversity; training, standards, and labour market information; and international comparisons. Individual articles deal with such issues as workplace training; integrating immigrants into the Canadian economy; and recognizing the human resources potential of the country’s Aboriginal population.

The document was commissioned and published by The Alliance of Sector Councils (TASC), the network of Canada’s sector councils dedicated to implementing industry-driven labour market solutions in key sectors of the economy. For more information about TASC, please click here: http://www.councils.org.
