sharing of promising tools and approaches for enhancing…’’ skills of target groups within
‘‘Canadian workplaces’’. In this second call, the target groups were identified to be older
workers, low-skilled workers, and newcomers to Canada: populations considered a priority
because they are underutilized in the labour market. Timelines for the entire project
including outcomes and full dissemination are limited to two years, and funding per
research project to $2 million CAD. Finally, ‘‘partnerships’’ are emphasized, both for
funding purposes (partners or applicants must provide 25% of the total project budget) and
to ‘‘secure expertise’’; applicants are expected to build upon or create new partnerships.
