Update: Canada School of Public Service — Helping a growing school in need of larger facilities

PWGSC has taken the helm of an intricate project involving The Canada School of Public Service (CSPS).

As a result of new learning initiatives and the addition of mandatory courses, CSPS has called upon PWGSC to provide a multitude of services to support the addition of 250 employees to the growing school and the public service employees who will be using the facilities for training.

Susanne Canadien, Project Leader on behalf of PWGSC, is responsible for co-ordinating a host of fully integrated services for the Canada School of Public Service.

Though the project is ongoing, to date, PWGSC has put in place short- and long-term accommodations for the additional CSPS employees. “We were able to negotiate with Canada Revenue Agency, the former occupant of the building, the Place Cartier building in Gatineau, Quebec, to leave the office furniture, security system and cabling behind,” explains Susanne Canadien, Project Leader on behalf of PWGSC.

“This created immediate savings of nearly a million dollars.”

To tackle the intricate project, Ms. Canadien called upon experts from across the Department. “Our team is made up of one point-person from every business line,” says Ms. Canadien. “Each group played an instrumental role in allowing us to deliver on time and on budget.”

PWGSC negotiated with other government departments the use of additional training rooms needed by the school at no cost. The savings amount to $40,000 for a 3-month period for hotel facilities being used by CSPS staff to deliver the courses.

Providing turnkey services that include IT support, PWGSC will be able to continue uninterrupted, seamless service to the school.
