Skills Council of Canada partners with leading organizations that share in their mission of providing equitable access to inclusive, quality education, and promoting lifelong learning and employment opportunities for all. Before partnering with any content provider, the Skills Council of Canada’s team carefully considers growing industry trends, the quality of the partner’s offering, and how each partnership contributes to the overall project goal of breaking down barriers to education. “Supporting our learners is the main objective of this project and the focus of our Collaborative Support Ecosystem. Our success is the result of engaged, enthusiastic, flourishing job seekers who are confident and motivated to follow their dreams. Skills Council of Canada puts job seekers' needs and outcomes first and as such, carefully selects and considers all partnerships. We are enormously proud to include iAM Learning, Vubiz, TalentLMS, Articulate, and Edge Factor’s offerings to our library of skills-to-employment offerings.” said Kate O’Neil, VP of Partnerships for Skills Council of Canada.
