Request for Proposals
Employment Sector Council Strategic Planning Consultant
The Employment Sector Council (ESC) is seeking a strategic planning consultant and facilitator to guide conversations on what structure would best support the needs of a sector in transformation. The Employment Sector Council supports membership in Southwestern Ontario. ESC training and tools are also accessed throughout the wider province. ESC is a not for profit initiative that historically has had one staffing role to support the needs of its members and it is an unincorporated entity hosted at an anchor institution. As the employment sector at a provincial level experiences an upcoming transformation and a new Service System Manager for the London CMA region will be announced shortly, the ESC wishes to retain the services of a third party consultant to guide a conversation to review its current strategic directions, structure and staffing model in support of the needs of its regional members.
ESC Mission:
ESC drives the prosperity of Southwestern Ontario by advocating, information, training, networking and collaborating with its members to enhance their capacities to further positive community impact.
ESC Strategic Priorities:
Information
Using various channels of communication, information is shared in a timely and efficient manner ensuring the greatest input, response, collaboration, or action required from members and the community ESC serves.
Networking & Collaboration
ESC enhances members’ ability to build strong relationships within the sector, with employers, and with the community, while responding quickly and effectively to labour market needs.
Advocacy
As an independent, united voice for the employment sector, ESC advocates with courage and integrity on behalf of the sector, in support of effective, equitable employment services for everyone.
Training
ESC training builds organizational capacity of our membership by enhancing individuals’ competencies and skills.
Sustainability
ESC has the necessary financial and staffing resources to fully support its operations and the needs of its membership on an annual and ongoing basis.
Timeline:
The timelines for this project would be from January to December 2023 with recommendations coming before a Steering Committee for decision by November 2023.
Desired Expertise:
Budget:
