The Group title, "Joint Training Comm(ittee)" is shorttened from the official name, "Joint Union-Management Advisory Committee on Staff Training and Development ." From a report dated September 4, 1990, entitled, "Training and Development for OPSEU Staff, Needs Assessment Research and Strategic Plan" (RG 458-4): The committee was established in the 1988 - 1990 OPSEU collective agreement. The name of the committee was the Joint Union-Management Advisory Committee on Staff Training and Development. The mandate of the committee was to advise the Director of H.R. "in the areas of needs assessment, and the development, implementation, and evaluation of individual and/or group programs for members of the OPSEU bargaining unit." The report also recommended that the training and development programs developed for OPSEU staff be open to other Ryerson groups, "respecting the conditions outlined in the OPSEU collective agreement." The report was submitted to the Director of H.R., Angelo Pesce. The Joint Union-Management Advisory Committee on Staff Training and Development works closely with the Human Resources section, Organizational and Employee Development (OED). NOTE: In [January?] 2010, the section name was changed from OED to OEE (Organizational and Employee Effectiveness).
