Leading Edge Programs
Where there is a gap in workforce development and career planning, FPSC develops a solution. We provide industry with grant funding and innovative programming to help businesses grow.
These programs support Canadian food and beverage manufacturers in having the most exceptionally skilled workforce in the world and remaining competitive players on the global stage. To do this, we conduct labour market research that identifies labour and skills shortages. This information then drives discussion with key decision and policy makers. Often our programs are delivered in partnership with a government agency or industry association.
