Appendix A - Supplemental SPI Objectives


In late 1995, SPI supplemented its original objectives. A statement of SPI's additional objectives follows.

Objective: To increase and improve private sector investment in the development of human resources and to improve the labour market relevance of the Canadian learning system.

Activities:

  • Human Resource Sector Studies
  • Sector Councils
  • Occupational Standards (Basic Skills and Prior Learning Assessment)
  • Skills Upgrading
  • Sectoral Youth Internships
  • National Sectoral Adjustment Service

Key Results:

  • Published sector studies reflecting consensus recommendations for action by private sector on key industry HR issues — helping Government decide on allocation of resources for key HR issues (i.e., defining the Government's share of the costs).
  • Self-sufficient infrastructure to manage the implementation of sector wide HR strategy — reducing burden on Government to address all labour market issues in all sectors.
  • Development by industry and adoption by training providers of national occupational skills standards — reducing cost of curriculum development by educational institutions and improving the relevance of training made available to all training consumers, including UI claimants, therefore reducing the likelihood of subsequent claims; and improving inter-provincial labour mobility.
  • Increased industry investment in training — improving the skills of the labour force and reducing the likelihood of layoffs.
  • Improved learning approaches and greater commitment from industry to the training of youth — reducing the likelihood of unemployment or underemployment for young Canadians.
  • Increased private sector resources to resolving labour market issues — reduced Government resources to address such issues.
