PROPOSED APPROACH Kiosks will be set-up in order to facilitate dialogue among participants around public service learning needs, and solicit feedback from them about what the Canada School can offer Deputy Ministers and how it can support departments and agencies.

Key Departments and/or Agencies will be invited to showcase the innovative initiatives in relation to Performance Management and Talent Management. The Canada School will be represented as a national organization, a unified approach to serving the common learning and development needs of public servants and helps ensure that all public service employees across Canada have the knowledge and skills they need to deliver results for Canadians. Canada School regional representation will be enhanced in the Canada School programs and initiatives for 2009-2010 showcased at the Learning Fair.
