CEN PROVINCIAL MEETING SUMMARIES
CEN PROVINCIAL MEETING – September 13, 2022
This was a get-to-know-everyone meeting. There was representation from all CEN’s and good participation in discussions. During the round table, liaisons brought up points of concern: systemic lack of support for documents in English; scrambling to implement revised or new programs, outdated programs, lack of enrollment in programs, industry needs and struggling to adjust to the boomerang effect of teaching online, hybrid and in person. The new CEN organisation and structure were shared, and the guidebook introduced. VT.PROCEDE.ca platform was accessed and documents shared. A late start to the meeting meant that the second part of the meeting, brainstorming PD ideas, was held after lunch and some liaisons were not able to stay.

CEN PROVINCIAL MEETING – December 7, 2022
The CEN’s were well represented at the second provincial meeting. The round table discussion confirmed the CEN’s are very active hosting and planning workshops and meetings. Ideas were shared on the planning of a successful PD session, along with an explanation and walk-through of the required paperwork. Information on effective communication in the trades was discussed. The CEN reps were asked to think about their trade in industry today; what type of communication would best connect them with their trade partners in today’s world.

CEN PROVINCIAL MEETING – MAY 31, 2023
A new CHAT feature has been implemented on the vt.procede.ca site, allowing users to ask questions directly to Robin or VT support. The CEN liaisons provided an overview of their year, discussing both positives and areas for improvement. Robin explained the CEN Year End Report, emphasizing its importance in securing funding from the Ministry. The report summarizes what each CEN accomplished, how it was done, why, and the challenges addressed. The report serves two purposes: showcasing achievements and identifying areas for improvement. The report, along with signed reimbursement forms should be sent to Shelley at vtinservice@nfsb.qc.ca by the deadline of June 15, 2023. Robin’s presentation on how to fill in the report can be found on vt.procede.ca under 23-05-31 CEN Provincial Meeting Presentation.
