1. The ABCs of CIPMS (Continuous Improvement Performance Management System) (2008)
Authors: Vicki Trottier, Jette Cosburn
The Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities introduced the concept of a Continuous Improvement Performance Management System (CIPMS) to Ontario’s Literacy and Basic Skills adult literacy delivery agencies in 2001. CIPMS is designed to create a cohesive set of policies and improved processes throughout the system so that programs can better work together to address client needs. This manual is designed to provide an overview of what CIPMS is, how it can be an effective process, how it is being used elsewhere, and how the Ministry envisions it being used in Literacy and Basic Skills agencies. It also includes sample tools and resources that can be used in your agency.
This manual includes five sections:
1 - Introduction
2 - CIPMS in Literacy and Basic Skills
3 - Using CIPMS
4 - Agency assessment
5 - Resources and appendices

To help address high unemployment rates in the Aboriginal community, and meet the human resource demands anticipated by labour shortages in the near future, the Government of Saskatchewan created the Aboriginal Employment Development Program (AEDP).
The AEDP works with employers to identify employment needs and remove barriers to ensure a workplace that is grounded in fairness, respect and dignity, trust and open communication. These employers measure the success of non-discriminatory hiring practices of qualified applicants.
