Sector Council Program

The Manitoba government recognizes that a skilled, adaptable and productive workforce is essential for employers to compete locally and in the global market. The Sector Council Program supports organizations in key Manitoba sectors to develop and deliver workforce training for new and existing employees to support business growth and prosperity. With funding provided by Economic Development, Investment and Trade, these organizations consult with sector employers to identify immediate, short and long term skills and labour gaps and develop strategies to fill those gaps, provide short-term training for existing workers, provide training and other supports to assist entrepreneurs to grow their business, advise post-secondary institutions on curriculum development and updates, and work with other organizations to inform Manitobans, including youth, Indigenous peoples, newcomers and those with disabilities about jobs and careers in their sectors
