Learning Services

As outlined in Elections Canada’s Human Resources Strategy, employees and managers “need to continue acquiring new knowledge and skills to meet the evolving expectations of Canadians”. Employee training and development has therefore been made our priority. This Training is offered within the framework of our commitment towards a professional development center dedicated to corporate learning and development.

TBS has mandated that all Federal Employees must be aware of a series of expected behaviors that are grouped into the following four core competencies: 

1.	Demonstrating integrity and respect; 
2.	Thinking things through; 
3.	Working with others;
4.	Showing initiative and being action oriented.

This requirement is to provide the Training required to meet the mandate from TBS.
