|
|
|
The City of Toronto is committed to building a high performing, diverse workforce that has strong and effective leaders, is service-oriented and engaged, where healthy and safe workplaces exist for all members of the Toronto Public Service, positive relations exist with its unions and employee associations, and learning is a continuous activity. As an employer the City believes that continuous learning contributes to a skilled, knowledgeable and productive workforce.
Two learning maps provide an overview of corporate courses offered in the City of Toronto, systematically clustered to help staff personalize their professional development plans. A Toronto Public Service learning map identifies internal courses for all roles -- frontline staff, administrative/support, technical/professional, supervisor, manager and director. A Strong and Effective Leaders learning map focuses on courses for supervisors, managers and directors.
