LearnSphere helps organizations prosper, building capacity through learning development, coaching, and consulting.
While many of our programs are accessible in the top menu on this site, others are delivered directly to private companies, large organizations, or associations.
We are proud to share some past and present examples of those projects on this page.
LearnSphere’s ACCENT™ program helps organizations serve their clients in French and English. Through ACCENT™ we offer customized learning options to help organizations meet their individual needs. This may include a combination of components such as web-based tools, in-house interactive learning, asynchronous self-study modules, and post-training consulting and support.
Here are some examples of customized versions of this program we have offered to a variety of partners:
ACCENT™ for SMEs

ACCENT™ for Nova Scotia Works Employment Services Centres
2017-2018
LearnSphere’s ACCENT™ program helped 18 Employment Service Centres across Nova Scotia enhance improve their customer service. In this program, we offered practical learning opportunities for managers and employees, as well as post-training support.

ACCENT™ for Horizon Health Network
Since 2019, ongoing
LearnSphere developed and delivered a series of live ACCENT™ learning sessions for Horizon Health Network managers and people-leaders in 2019. Delivered live online to over 500 people in 2020-2023, the program received positive ratings, despite the challenges faced in the health care setting during that time due to the pandemic. As a legacy component, LearnSphere then created a self-study version that continues to be offered to Horizon managers and team leads.

We provided customized capacity-building for NS Home Support Agencies, administering an organizational assessment and follow-up action plan to ten home support agencies around Nova Scotia. The agencies were then provided with up to five days of coaching and consulting to implement components of their respective action plans. All agencies were also provided a governance toolkit.

Our program, “Empower Your Board,” includes asynchronous learning modules on essential governance concepts, complemented by group coaching sessions. These successful sessions foster expertise and collaboration through discussions with our subject matter experts and peers.
Since 2019, ongoing
LearnSphere worked with the Public Legal Education and Information Service of NB (PLEIS-NB) over a five-year period, to help them develop and deliver learning aimed at reducing workplace sexual harassment. Acting as a learning and development body for PLEIS-NB, LearnSphere conducted background research, undertook consultations with stakeholders, and created learning programs for employers and employees across New Brunswick. We continue to deliver this training, in both live format and through self-paced learning modules. https://saferplacesnb.ca/

Formation professionnelle en technologies de l’information et de la communication (FPTIC)

In this five-year international development project we worked with a vocational training centre in Yaoundé, Cameroon to help them build business management skills among their employees. The project aimed to ensure the employees were qualified, competent, and well-equipped to respond effectively to the needs of the labour market and government in the information and communication technologies (ICT) field and improve self-sufficiency for the centre.
Soutien à l’acquisition de compétences en technologies de l’information et de la communication (SACTIC)

Toile Scolaire Francophone
