Purpose of secondments:

Support the development of employees’ knowledge, skills, abilities and experience.
Improve knowledge sharing between HEABC, member organizations and other stakeholders for the purpose of enhancing services and strengthening HEABC’s relationships and partnerships.
Increase access to specialized knowledge, diverse skills, expertise and best practices for HEABC and its members.

Secondment opportunities may exist in the areas of:

Other information:

Secondees will typically remain on the pay and benefits system of their primary employer, not the organization with which they are completing their secondment
