Committees

Steering Committee

The ESCLM Steering Committee, elected by its membership, is responsible for collaboratively engaging community members involved in the employment and training sector in London and Middlesex County to improve their capacity for dealing with human resource planning and implement labour force adjustments accordingly.  Membership of the Steering Committee comprises management from our non-profit member agencies, and ex officio members representing our funders from three levels of government. Its activities are focused on strategically building organizational and sector capacity through effective communication and information sharing, community development and sectoral planning, for the purpose of providing relevant and responsive programs and services that meet the needs of job seekers in our community.  It is through this collaborative and integrated approach that that we are able to build the capacity of the community in which we serve.  The Steering Committee is supported by a Project Leader staff member. 

Community Employment Links (CEL) Committee

This subcommittee has the responsibility for supporting our membership in how we, as a community, collect, retain, store, and share client information as well as how we communicate with each other for the purposes of client referral. The mission of the CEL Committee is:  “to facilitate the expedient movement of clients through the employment and training service delivery network, towards employment or re-employment, and to use technology as a tool to accomplish this goal.”

The CEL Committee has designed the ESCLM information sharing protocols; developed the Links2Work website offering locally based on-line resources for job seekers and interagency communication; and created the Privacy Standards adhered to by our members.

Common Assessment Process (CAP) Committee

This subcommittee coordinates and facilitates the design and delivery of the ESCLM’s Common Assessment Process training program.  CAP Committee members design and revise training curricula to ensure maximum relevance to our agency staff and clients. The Committee is also oversees the evaluation and certification of CAP trainers, ensuring excellence in training for every session.  CAP Committee members also serve as trainers and mentors for all CAP practitioners across our community.

Professional Development Sub Committee

Due to increasing requests for professional development among ESCLM member agencies, a Professional Development Sub Committee was formed to oversee the selection and organization of professional development events for our membership. Its mandate is to enable the membership to serve the membership by capitalizing on the core competencies already existent within our member agencies’ staff. Hence, this subcommittee is composed of both frontline and management staff.
