Fall brings many changes which we experience all around us – the changing colour of trees, colder weather, and the transition of the tourism and service sectors from the busy summer period to preparations for the Holiday season. OTEC too, has undergone many changes, with two major initiatives recently completed. Over the past three months the OTEC Office and Learning Centre has undergone a massive transformation. We’ve expanded and renovated our entire space, added new furniture, AV, and technology equipment.

Change is good, and our new environment supports our values towards excellence, professionalism, commitment to team, innovation, and being client-centric. We’ve created a new state of the art Learning Centre to offer our clients a positive and enriching workshop experience. The office has been designed to provide a collaborative and productive environment for our hard working team members. We are also changing with the times to enable us to interact with our clients, stakeholders, and trainers in an informal and dynamic way through LinkedIn and this, our new Blog. A recently launched series of webinars now supports the professional development of our training network.

I am excited to be at the forefront of all of this change as President & CEO of OTEC, and invite you to join our LinkedIn Training and Development Group, or keep abreast of new ideas and changing trends through our Blog. With a new vision to be the recognized leader and premier resource enabling businesses to attract, develop and retain the best employees, we hope the industry will join us in continuing to change, develop, perform, and succeed to ensure a strengthened workforce for the future.
