CASIP Governance and Leadership Capacity Development Project : Case Study

This case study summarizes the CASIP (Consortium of Agencies Serving Internationally-trained Professionals) Governance and Leadership Capacity Development Project undertaken by the 11 CASIP member organizations that deliver employment services and training programs to skilled immigrants in the Greater Toronto Area. The project focused on mobilizing strategic collaboration at the governance and leadership levels and on building the collective capacity of the sector to respond to shared needs and policy changes overall. Collaboration at this level also served as a forum for the exchange of best practices, a space for arriving at consensus and an opportunity to utilize shared resources to achieve common goals and objectives. This project was undertaken over three years beginning 2011 and concluding in 2014.
