Job description
In partnership with our client, Palette Skills, ZoomHR is leading the search for a Bilingual Delivery Partner Manager to join their dynamic team! The ideal candidate will be residing in Quebec.
About Palette
Palette Skills is a national nonprofit that trains Canadians for
careers in growing industries. Since their launch, they have created three
successful upskilling programs: SalesCamp, which prepares people for the world
of B2B tech sales, Digital Agriculture and Automation, and previously,
Accelerated Cyber Security Training Program. While these sectors are different
from each other, their approach is the same: to train and connect individuals
with great foundational skills to employers struggling to find the talent they
need. Their model is so successful that it has resulted in 90% of graduates
from their inaugural SalesCamp program receiving a job offer after completing
the program.
By building partnerships with industry, Palette Skills gives innovative companies access to traditionally untapped labour markets, and creates pathways to career growth through demand-driven, industry-led accelerated skilling programs that lead upskilled workers into new, high demand tech jobs.
About Upskill Canada
Palette Skills launched Upskill Canada in April 2023, to help our
country make the most of our talent advantage, while building a more inclusive
economy in the process. Upskilling workers at the scale necessary requires an
ecosystem-level approach. Palette Skills is taking the insights, models, and
lessons they’ve learned over the past five years and working with delivery
partners across the country to develop a new talent system that enables
cross-sector career transitions through employer-led upskilling. To launch upskilling programs in regions and
sectors across the country, Upskill Canada will be distributing funding to
qualified delivery partners to design and deliver employer-led upskilling
programs. Delivery Partners are organizations that have the capability to
deliver upskilling programs. These organizations may include the following:
Organizations involved in the post-secondary education sector, including universities, colleges, polytechnics, technology access centres, and other public delivery organizations
Private colleges and other private delivery institutions
Non-for-profit organizations

partners, as above.
