Business & Human Resource Development Tools

Alberta's prosperity is tied to people, productivity and innovation. AFPA's programming focuses on these concepts: attracting and retaining a talented workforce, maximizing the performance of this workforce, and finding innovative ways to address challenges.

Human resource development is a key facet of a strategic plan. Having a clear idea of the current state of your workers' competencies and a view to the desired state is imperative to one's ability to meet company objectives. AFPA offers the industry assistance to maximize its resources, time, talent and money.
