CACC’s Senior Leadership Team will conduct performance reviews annually based on feedback from surveys and instructor evaluation forms completed in the academic cycle. This will allow CACC to understand areas that need further improvement. The responsibility of undertaking professional development activities is a joint responsibility of the staff member and CACC. In addition, CACC will set its organizational goals and priorities and provide resources to help build the employee’s advanced professional credentials, which enables them to contribute more to the strategic goals set by CACC.

CACC convenes multiple in-house pieces of training annually to enable faculty members to meet the regulatory PD requirements in their field. These in-house workshops are mandatory for relevant staff and are free for all attendees.

Employees that pass the probation period will be eligible to benefit from this policy. Under this policy, any requests for professional development shall be submitted before registration and needs to be approved by the CACC administration for reimbursement. Employees must submit the ‘Professional Development Application Form’ to the CACC administration for further review.

Once approved, the employee will be required to submit completion of PD activity evidence to the college the expense as detailed below:

CACC, to encourage continuous growth of its employees, will reimburse 50% or CAD 250 (per annum), whichever is lower to the employee after the successful completion of the PD activity.

Considering CACC’s resources will allow the management to ensure fair and equitable support for all its staff.

Ideally, all employees are expected to take courses outside of their regular working hours. However, if an employee is required to write an exam during work hours based on the requirements of the work-related course, the employee will be approved for time off without the pay being affected.
