Funding: Sector Councils

Projects funded under the Sector Council Program must address one or more of the program's four objectives:

• Increased industry investment in skills development to promote a quality workforce;
• A learning system that is informed of, and more responsive to, the needs of industry;
• Reduced barriers to labour mobility, leading to a more efficient labour market; and
• Enhanced ability of industry to recruit and retain workers and to address human resources issues.

Funding under the Sector Council Program is contingent upon strong performance and the continued achievement of results. All sector councils are results-based and are subject to rigorous assessment processes.
