Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada Manpower Training Program : The Canada Manpower Training Program was initiated with the understanding that manpower training was becoming an increasingly important and effective tool of national economic policy. It improved the productivity of Canadians, as well as the efficiency of the labour market by providing industry with skilled workers. The intention of the program was to enable Canadians to adjust to changing economic conditions and to take advantage of emerging employment and income opportunities throughout Canada.

The Canada Manpower Training Program included a number of different elements. Skill Training consisted of training or retraining in occupational skills for which there was a continuing demand. Basic Training for Skill Development (BTSD) was designed to prepare adults lacking basic entry-level skills with the opportunity to acquire preparatory training in key academic subjects, such as mathematics, science, reading and communicative skills. The department purchased the classroom portion of apprentice training programs operated by the provinces. Immigrants and native-born Canadian immigrants who were unable to find employment which would make reasonable use of their skills because they lacked English or French could be referred to language training. The Training-In-Industry component provided an incentive to industry to establish training programs for its workers to help them cope with technological change. Industries were also encouraged to hire unemployed workers and train them within work situations, thereby providing them with new skills which they could use within that industry. The Small Business Manufacturing Training component made skill training courses available that were designed for farmers and small business owners or managers.
