Human Resources Partnerships
Two distinguishing features of the work that we do are partnerships and information. Knowing that skills are critically important in today's world, HRP works to foster national partnerships between the private sector and learning systems to ensure that Canadians have the skills and knowledge required for the workplace.
Mission and Objectives

Encourage learning systems to be more responsive to the labour markets
We help create and maintain national partnerships between the private sector and learning systems that can help educators provide students with the skills needed in today's labour market.

Learning doesn't stop in the classroom. HRP supports lifelong learning by promoting learning in the workplace.
Develop labour market transition mechanisms
We encourage labour mobility programs that promote recognition of workers' skills across Canada.
