In 2023-24, VCC was provided with Ministry funding to explore how we could encourage public PSIs to share training content with colleagues across the sector. This exploration resulted in the Collaboration Framework, which is being carried out in a pilot project. In this session we will provide a summary of VCC’s final report to the PSFS on the project’s pilot and will outline the subsequent scope and next steps of this project’s anticipated expansion in the current and future fiscal years.
Workshop outcomes
participants will gain an understanding of the structure and purpose of the Collaboration Framework, the pilot’s current scope of recommendations, as well as the project’s next planned phases.
