Customized, Made-to-Measure Courses

The School can customize and change most of its courses to suit your organization's learning needs. You may feel that one of the School's courses would be perfect for your team, but the dates don't suit you or your team members. Or, perhaps, you would like the course content and exercises to reflect your organization's reality. In most cases, we can arrange to have the course delivered to your team at the time and place of your choice. And, where appropriate, we can make the necessary changes so that the course suits your needs.

Learning Advisory Services

The Canada School of Public Service has an important role to play in helping the Public Service become a learning organization.

The School can help your organization identify and meet its learning needs and commitments. Based on your specific learning objectives, and on your particular environment, we will work with you to develop appropriate learning solutions. Whether you require a learning needs analysis, a new learning strategy or an assessment of the impact of your learning programs, we can help.

Working in partnership, our experts develop learning programs to achieve an institution’s human resource development objectives. The customized solution may include professional workshops and forums, distance learning, study tours, and learning programs in leadership development and public administration.

We also provide consulting advice and interventions to executives and managers to help them accelerate learning in their organizations. Consulting products and services include: client engagement and “front-end” analysis, learning needs assessment and analysis, design of integrated learning strategies/solutions, delivery and implementation of organizational learning solutions, and integrated project management.

Acquisition of new skills, competencies and strategies leads to individual and organizational performance enhancement. We believe that human resource development is the process of creating, organizing and leveraging collective knowledge to advance organizational performance.
