MTCU's TRANSITION PROJECTS

MTCU has a number of "Transition Projects" in the works. Some of these projects will provide opportunities for community stakeholders to participate in the design and implementation of Employment Ontario, either through ACTEW or another SDAG member group, or by directly participating in a project working/reference group. The projects are organized into six categories (called "Project Suites" by MTCU): program and policy coherence, organizational development, service delivery management, channel development, governance and accountability, and enterprise management and business continuity.
