Training
On this basis — the extensive national consultation and the national / pan-Canadian nature of the CLFDB — the Training Standards are termed national.
All organizations were asked to distribute and make comments on the draft standards:
1. Are the standards clear?
2. Is there anything that should be added or deleted?
3. How could the standards be implemented?
The responses were highly supportive and constructive. Responses were received every constituency, for example, from:
the YMCA and the BC Teachers’ Federation (education/training),
the Royal Bank and CP Rail (business),
CUPE and the IWA (labour),
the Council of Canadians with Disabilities and the CLFDB Women’s Reference Group (equity),
the Sectoral Council Committee of the CLFDB,
the labour force development boards of Saskatchewan and New Brunswick,
the governments of Canada (HRDC) and 5 provinces.
The Working Group analyzed and assimilated the recommendations, and took a final draft of the standards to the Board in March 1995 where they were approved for publication. More than ten thousand
copies have been distributed to date.
The CLFDB began with the stated premise that training is critical to the survival of Canadian business and industry, and the economic and social well-being of all Canadians. The CLFDB feels that the
Training Standards combine the perspectives and needs of learners, trainers and communities with all the elements of a training program. They suggest that, in making a decision about the purchase of
training, a consumer should gather a significant amount of information from print materials, interviews and conversations, and site visits. The recommended national Training Standards are intended as a
tool to guide the development and purchase of training that is effective, efficient and equitable.
