Report from Service Delivery Advisory Group (SDAG) Meeting
ACTEW’s Deanna Yerichuk attended the most recent LMDA Transition Service Delivery Advisory Group (SDAG) meeting on February 16, 2007. We have the following information to share with you:
Now that the transfer is complete, the LMDA transition team continues focus on business continuity (“business as usual”) and is starting to turn long-term attention to policy and program integration and alignment.
That being said, MTCU still says they are continuing with a slow planning approach, and intend to engage key stakeholders and local planning processes to ensure systems meet the needs of communities. They intend to make “Customer Focus” the priority through focusing on the infrastructure build as well as program design and service delivery.
Here are copies of the PowerPoint presentations provided at the meeting:
Also, we understand that MTCU will soon be launching an “Employment Ontario Partnership Gateway”. We’ll let you know as soon as this site is live.
The meeting also established that there is an important and ongoing role for community service providers through the SDAG, and MTCU appears committed not only to working with community reps in the existing committee structure, but examining ways that community knowledge and expertise can be more effectively leveraged in their planning and implementation processes. This may include tapping into community networks to collect and disseminate information for planning purposes.
The terms of reference for the group will be redrafted and ACTEW looks forward to bringing input from Ontario’s women’s training community to the table in policy and program development.
Finally, the LMDA transition team is actively seeking input on the challenges, opportunities and priorities that the community-based training sector sees over the next year. If you have feedback you’d like to get into MTCU’s hands, please contact Deanna at deanna@actew.org, and we’ll bring forward all concerns, issues and priorities.
