 About UNEVOC Canada
Collaboration with Existing Networks
UNEVOC - Canada will send a Call to Participate
in Canada's both official languages to various stakeholders in
technical and vocational education. The Call to Participate will also be
published in the Canadian Vocational Journal and will be posted in all
major technical and vocational listservs on the Internet. We have a
particular interest in other networks with a similar focus and interest
in international development. Two of the networks recently funded by
the Canadian Government have already expressed an interest to collaborate
with UNEVOC -Canada: (1) Network for the Evaluation of Training and
Technologies (EvNet) and The Western Research Network on Education and
Training (WRNET). This linkage will facilitate collaborative projects,
eliminate unnecessary duplication of research and development efforts,
optimize the utilization of available resources, and broaden the
communication and knowledge-base on a continuing basis. The Canadian
Vocational Association, a major partner of UNEVOC - Canada, has already
agreed to give us access to their network and membership. Our Associate Leader, Richard Gagnon, will be
responsible for establishing linkages with francophones across Canada
and worldwide. We will devote major efforts to attract francophone
researchers, practitioners, policy makers and other stakeholders
involved in technical and vocational education to our network. We will
secure grants to enable our network to operate in English and French.
Some major francophone associations involved in technical and vocational
education have already been contacted, in all instances their initial
responses have been positive. Dr. France Boutin, French Language
specialist, will act as the French Liaison person for the University of
Manitoba.
