Why this is important?

Public sector organizations in the federal, provincial, regional, municipal sectors face significant complex challenges, and in particular at the federal level the challenge of making the necessary adjustments to meet the budget targets set in the Strategic and Operating Reviews.  Changes to policies, programs, and operations are required on a continuous basis over the next several years to succeed in meeting these challenges.

All IOG courses are prepared and taught be those who have held senior positions in the federal government. They are guided by a Learning Committee of senior federal government public servants which is chaired by the DM of AAFC, John Knubley. 

For those who wish to have an adapted course that is specific to their issues and requirements, customized course offerings can be delivered on request for branches, teams or groups, in English or French in any part of the country. For more information, contact Learning Lab.
