The Centre for Excellence in Communications (CEC), The Centre of Excellence for Public Sector Marketing (CEPSM), Ottawa and Brown Communications Group, Regina, are offering a series of professional development workshops for the public and not-for-profit sectors in the context of the Saskatchewan Marketing and Communications Professional Development Program, Regina, Saskatchewan, May 31 - June 14, 2013.

WHY ATTEND?

The Saskatchewan Marketing and Communications Professional Development Program is an opportunity for communications and marketing professionals, executives and managers to enjoy focused and tested professional development and training. The eleven (11) courses available have been successfully delivered to thousands of public, not-for-profit sector and other participants. They provide learning that is conceptually rigorous and practical, and that can be applied immediately. Course content is specifically relevant to the challenges faced by Canada's marketers, communicators and anyone working in related areas.

The Saskatchewan Marketing and Communications Professional Development Program:

• Provides learning for individual career development and for building organizations' leadership capacity;
• Offers tools, techniques and strategies to enable managers and their marketing and communications professionals to better serve the needs of their internal and external partners and effectively reach key audiences and markets;
• Helps strengthen organizations' communications and marketing capabilities;
• Offers access to professional development opportunities while saving costs and time and maximizing training budgets;
• Provides excellent networking opportunities and the chance to see what others in the same professional areas are doing.

And, if you are in the private sector...

Private sector communicators who attend CEC workshops tell us that they gain real benefits:

• professional development - the essentials of the communications topics, concepts, tools and techniques remain valid regardless of organizational context;
• an excellent opportunity to gain an understanding of other communications environments and their challenges;
• a chance to network with public and not-for-profit colleagues.
