Bulletin #3 December 2008
The Engaging the Frontlines project final report has been submitted to MTCU’s Employment Ontario Network Development Fund for review. The report, soon to be available on the CSC website, highlights the events, activities and results which can be attributed to the efforts of the colleges and the frontline staff engaged in Employment Ontario programs and services.
The final report includes a summary of:
In October 2008, three months after the college and regional events, College leads were invited to comment on the impact of the Engaging the Frontlines project and the actions items which frontline staff developed. Though still early in the process, 90% of the colleges - or 20 of 22 - indicated that at least some action had been taken in respect to the action items identified. 85% of the College leads reported that the project has fostered networking and many reported specific examples of this. 73% of the College leads responded that the college newsletter and the bulletins generated some discussion at their colleges.
The actual questions and summary of responses are listed below:
Did your College Newsletter and/or the Bulletins generate any additional discussion at your College? Did you get any feedback about either of these?
Have you tackled (or will you?) any of the action items identified at your College? Any progress so far?
Overall, do you think the project has fostered networking at your college? Any evidence of this?
All 22 colleges which held individual college events reported on the questions above.
