COLLABORATIVE EDUCATORS
For over 20 years the Eastern Region College Committee on Human
Resources Development (ERCCHRD) has endeavored to provide relevant
training opportunities college faculty and support staff in Eastern
Ontario. The collaborative efforts of members from Algonquin,
Durham, Fleming, Loyalist and St. Lawrence ensure the professional
development needs at each participating college are met by sharing
resources and information, providing an opportunity to recognize
and showcase expertise, and by reducing the duplication of effort
and allow colleges to share costs. Each member college has representatives
on the project planning teams which establish flexible guidelines
that can be adapted to suit the needs of each institution. Offering
six separate training opportunities, the ERCCHRM provides members
with affordable, adaptable and accessible professional development.
