Description
As part of the Best Practices Forum on Official Languages, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and the Canada School of Public Service present a discussion on improving, maintaining or acquiring new skills in your second language.
In this session, panellists will introduce different approaches to language learning that have been implemented across Canada. They will share tips, lessons learned and anecdotes about learning and practising a second language in the workplace.
The Best Practices Forum on Official Languages will be held virtually from February 7 to 11, 2022. It brings together official languages champions with persons responsible for official languages and those responsible for coordinating section 41 of the Official Languages Act. All public service employees are welcome to attend.
