EHRC Membership - Launching Soon
EHRC has become more vital than ever as we help to keep the lights on in Canada by enabling a world-class workforce for the entire electricity industry.
In our December newsletter we announced a new strategic direction for EHRC as we implement a re-focused business plan that includes a new self-sufficient model that has been endorsed by the EHRC Board of Directors in 2013. In this issue we are pleased to announce that EHRC will soon launch its new membership.
The new model offers significant value for any size of organization through EHRC's qualified resources and leading-edge communication vehicles. It is designed to provide operational stability for EHRC to continue delivering high quality labour force research in the current climate of impending government funding cuts.
We are helping to build a better workforce by strengthening the ability of the Canadian electricity industry to meet current and future needs for a highly skilled, safety-focused, diverse and productive workforce.
Watch for a special upcoming e-bulletin with information about what our membership exposure opportunities can offer your organization.

Aboriginal Youth Camps
Electricity Human Resources Canada is pleased to announce we will be continuing our Aboriginal Youth Camp programming for 2013. To date we have delivered 8 camps across the country and reached over 150 youth. This popular program allows industry to reach out to the growing Aboriginal youth population and teach them about math, science, and the importance of staying in school - all with an electricity focus.
We are now looking to identify locations and sponsors for the Summer 2013 camps. If you know of an Aboriginal community that could benefit from the program or belong to an organization looking to get involved, please contact Kevin Joseph, Project Manager at [email protected], 647-921-4577.
Bridging the Gap
Watch for a special announcement on this initiative in an upcoming EHRC news bulletin.
