Training Innovations has signed an agreement with the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation to design and develop an online career intervention for their upcoming Career Motion demonstration project. This web-based solution will be powered by Training Innovations' e-Volve Learning Technology.

The Career Motion project will measure the effects of the online intervention and the use of labour market information by project participants. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) is providing funding for the research. This controlled experiment will contribute valuable information about the use and impact of e-career services. Training Innovations is thrilled to be part of this important work.

The ASPECT Small Business Employee Training Program is focused on helping small businesses grow the potential of their lower-skilled workers by providing access to government-funded training courses that are tailored to the needs of small business.

Training Innovations is pleased to deliver this program to eligible businesses in Burnaby, Vancouver, North Vancouver, Squamish and Whistler. Eligible businesses have less than 50 employees and have "growth employees" that would benefit from skills training. A growth employee is someone that does not have a high school diploma, or has a high school diploma but lacks accreditation or essential skills.

Training Innovations will work with employers to assess individual employee needs and develop a plan to access skills training. Each employee is eligible to receive up to $900 for training courses.
