The submission praises the support of SK Council for Archives and Archivists, SLA, and the Multitype Library Board. It points to mentoring to encourage formal and informal programs. Bringing seasoned professionals together with those at the beginning of their careers will allow better skill transfer and give those just starting out a firmer foothold in their careers. An important move in the direction of further education is the new program Continuing Education Certificate Program (http://cec.laa.ca/) which creates a more structured program for maintaining and obtaining library competencies.
