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

Our Mission

"To advance partnerships with industry and the learning system to ensure that Canadians have the skills and knowledge required for the workplace."

Our Objectives

HRP's work with key stakeholders in industry and the learning system is guided by its five main objectives:

Increase sectoral capacity

HRP works with national sectors to help increase their ability to identify and meet their human resources needs.

Understand and describe skills

We support activities to understand and describe skills Canadians need in today's labour market.

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.

Promote the workplace as a learning place

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.
