Training and Development Program Sample Clauses
Training and Development Program. The parties recognize the importance of continuing professional development opportunities that will enable staff to keep abreast of new ideas and remain challenged by encounters with leaders in their respective profession. Upon request by an employee, the Employer will oversee the distribution of professional development funds, if any, in its sole discretion. The Employer will post in the Intake Office of the workplace, training opportunities as the Employer becomes aware of them. Employees interested in taking such training opportunities may submit a written proposal to the Employer and the Employer shall respond in writing to the proposal within fourteen (14) days of the commencement of the training opportunity.
Training and Development Program. The purpose of the Training and Development Program is to undertake an assessment of the level of skills and competencies that exist within Macquarie Generation and compare this with what the business needs will be in the foreseeable future. This will require a skills audit which can be undertaken by existing resources within Macquarie Generation. There will also be a job redesign process that will provide the best combination of skills and competencies that deliver the business needs. Finally, there will be a job evaluation and remuneration system that applies to all employees. Program Terms of Reference
(a) Review the results of a skills audit for Macquarie Generation;
(b) Undertake a process of job redesign whereby jobs more readily meet the business needs; and
(c) Examine job evaluation and remuneration systems in order to implement a system which applies to all employees. As the process will be developed jointly between employees, management and unions, agreement will be required on each phase prior to implementation.

11.2 The Lessee shall, to the extent practicable, upgrade and train its employees in relation to the Lessee’s needs and obligations and ensure a positive work environment which is conducive to employees, in particular Residents of Saskatchewan’s North, achieving increased knowledge and accepting greater responsibility in their employment opportunities with the Lessee.
11.3 The Parties agree that ongoing and progressive on-the-job training is an effective approach to meeting the intent of this Part III and that such training will be offered to the Lessee’s employees, in particular Residents of Saskatchewan’s North, to the extent practicable.

11.4 The Government of Saskatchewan shall use its best efforts to provide basic education and literacy training which will make the transfer of skills on-the-job more effective, and the Lessee will cooperate with the Government of Saskatchewan in this regard, where practicable.

11.5 With the support and cooperation of Saskatchewan training institutions and such other accreditation-granting bodies as may be involved from time to time, the Lessee shall use its best efforts to organize and implement its training programs so that employees, in particular Residents of Saskatchewan’s North, completing the training will be able to use the skills acquired and time spent as credit towards certification or status recognized in Saskatchewan.
11.6 Where it is mutually advantageous and agreeable to the Lessee and an employee, the Lessee will take the steps necessary to record the details of employment with the northern office of Apprenticeship and Trade Certification, according to The Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Act.
