This document contains the findings of a study carried out by the Canadian Plastics Sector Council (CPSC) to gather ideas from employers and employees about improving current training systems. The study included a literature review; interviews with industry stakeholders and employers; focus groups; and an employer survey.

Based on the results on the study, the authors recommend promoting the development of partnerships for training; developing a plastics training curriculum; developing a set of best practices for hiring foreign workers, who may need language and cultural training; maintaining an online inventory of current training opportunities; including industry representatives in the development of training strategies; and improving understanding of the benefits of e-learning.

CPSC is a national not-for-profit association created to explore and address emerging human resources issues in the plastics processing industry.
