Through this Call for Concept Papers (CFC), the Workplace Partnerships Directorate (WPD) is piloting the Sectoral Initiatives Program (SIP). SIP aims to address current skills shortages and reduce the likelihood of new skills shortages, by supporting the development and dissemination of labour market intelligence. Connecting Canadians to the labour market intelligence needed to make informed human resources, career and training decisions will support a more systemic match between employers and job-seekers. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) announced this approach in July 2011.
