How the program works
Our Learning & Recognition Framework (LRF) is a documented model that clearly defines each and every qualification (e.g. certificate) included within a comprehensive structure. It provides a hierarchy of recognition/qualifications, e.g. levels.
While no national governmentally-administered qualifications exist for the food industry in Canada, FPSC has identified a need to clearly articulate the recognition levels within the food industry.
The FPSC framework is unlike a national qualifications framework in that it is not necessarily be tied to the typical levels, such as diploma, degree, etc. – but has instead organized the nationally-validated food industry competencies into a logical structure with a training focus. The framework includes levels customized to the food and beverage processing sector, and will include several credentials at the lower levels – micro credentials!
“An organization’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage.”
JACK WELCH, FORMER CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF GENERAL ELECTRIC

Training works! Perhaps our best Canadian example of upskilling and reskilling is our Canadian Forces. They take people who show promise and an interest in learning and then they turn them into amazing doctors, nurses, dentists, soldiers and leaders. It’s a commitment, but it will be worth it.
Skills Training Atlantic Canada is a fully funded program while space is available.
