Knowledge Centres > Work and Learning > About Us
On April 6, 2009, as one of several restructuring measures, CCL announced that it would no longer be funding its five knowledge centres as of July 6, 2009.
CCL deeply appreciates the valuable work and expertise that knowledge centre staff and consortium members have contributed. Every effort will be made to ensure that the high quality work of the knowledge centres continues to be distributed as widely as possible.
The Work and Learning Knowledge Centre is composed of a consortium of more than 90 organizations led by the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC).
The Work and Learning Knowledge Centre has an advisory committee with members from over 50 institutions and organizations across Canada.
