CPISC Research Framework
CPISC Research Framework
As a new sector council, the potential scope of activity is vast. To focus our activities, the CPISC Board of Directors identified three priority areas of activity:
- Standards - Work in partnership with industry stakeholders to address skills development issues through the creation of skill standards and profiles and the provision of relevant tools and resources
- Decision-making - Provide a national forum for collaboration among all stakeholders and the creation of human resource and workforce development tools and services
- Training and career pathways - Improve the image of the industry as a career destination through outreach activities and better communication of education, training and work opportunities to both potential employees and those already employed in the sector.
In order to function effectively and to meet the needs of the sector, CPISC requires certain fundamental components in each of the three priority areas. They constitute the Building Blocks for all subsequent work, programs and services to be undertaken by CPISC.

As these building blocks are put in place, CPISC will be better able to develop a set of tools and services geared to the specific needs of a range of audiences: employers, current and potential employees, educators and the general public. CPISC is developing these building blocks through issue-specific research projects led by working groups with representation from the industry and its partners.
