CWC JEANNE SAUVÉ PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Broaden your understanding of industry regulation and policy.
In Canada’s broadcast and communications industry, knowledge
is power. The CWC Jeanne Sauvé Professional Development
programs are designed to give you both. Whether you work in
the private or public sector, the programs give you a “backstage
pass” to learn how the other half lives.
These intensive learning experiences do more than educate and empower;
they give you new perspectives, insights and direct access to some of
the industry’s most influential policy and regulatory decision
makers, as well as new ways to think, work and springboard your career.
The call for 2011 program applications will open September 2010.
The programs offer you two unique ways to gain unparalleled access
to the area of communications regulation and policy (see outlines of
both program featured below)

The Convergence program is a chance for five participants – one
each from Industry Canada, Canadian Heritage and the CRTC, as well as
two from private-sector organizations – to take part in three
separate two-week rotations that total six weeks.
You'll learn first-hand how private industry, government and regulatory
agencies respond to new issues and challenges. You will also examine
questions about program design, strategy and how best to meet the needs
of customers, legislators and stakeholders.
Participants tailor the agenda for this in-depth look at communications
regulation and policy.
