Current Issues
 Council launches initiative to encourage use of National Accreditation Program;
employers are encouraged to seek out education and professional opportunities for
their employees with a preference to offerings from learning-system providers who
have been accredited by NAP; learning-system providers are encouraged to
integrate NAP accreditation into their marketing efforts; interest in submissions by
providers continues to increase
 Our Working Group for Phase II of the National Occupational Standards project
met in early February to identify a priority order for NOS development; if you are
interested in assisting this work, we are seeking participation on the Working Group
from Western Canada, and in supply chain areas relating to IT, transportation,
commodities (grain, oil, etc.), and emerging industries (pharmaceuticals, health
care, sustainable energy)
 Succession planning is underway at CSCSC; elections are planned for this year
What We Need From You
 Leads to meet with employers; the Council’s Outreach project has been designed
to link the products and services of the Council to the needs of employers in our
sector; we want to meet with your HR people to assist them in supporting your
efforts
 Career fair season has begun; if you are aware of career fairs coming in your
community, remember that by collaborating we can leverage resources and get
more bang for our buck; the Council can coordinate activities and supply collateral,
including brochures, presentation templates, games and booth banners
