      Partnership
at HRDC
In order to enhance the delivery of
services to Canadians, Human Resource Centres of Canada
(previously known as Canada Employment Centres) have
traditionally entered into innovative and creative local
partnerships. Implementation of the Employment Insurance
Act in 1996, coupled with the Federal offer to turn
labour market training functions over to the provinces
has generated the need for further development of
partnership arrangements.
Partnership refers to a relationship
in which an HRCC and other agents work cooperatively to
achieve human resource development goals at the community
level. Partnerships are characterized by the sharing of
resources, responsibilities, decision making, risks and
benefits according to a mutually agreed upon formal or
informal arrangement.
In July 1996, HRDC released a study of
innovative examples of local partnerships in Canada and
elsewhere. The study's objectives were to highlight the
features of partnerships geared to developing local human
resources. A better understanding of these features
should enable decision-makers and their partners to
establish mutually beneficial structures. A summary of
that study is included here: Local
