Newfoundland Consortium

It is always a pleasure to support manufacturers in Atlantic Canada through the challenges they are facing but also to celebrate successes. We are becoming accustomed to ‘change’ requiring the ability to re-adjust; the opportunities of peer networking are powerful as well as a tool for professional development:

  • No Need to Re-Invent the Wheel!
  • Many minds are better than one.
  • There’s Power in Numbers.
  • Gain a fresh perspective and greater awareness.
  • Make new Connections.

EMC continues to evolve to better represent the needs of the day – through technology, strategic partnerships and learning development. If you are a member, you are aware of the many resources and I encourage everyone in your organization to use them to their fullest potential (yes, all of a member company’s employees are considered members). Here’s a quick review:

Member Needs Help – EMC Canada
Learning Centre – EMC Canada – If you are a member, ask about discounts on our training.
Manufacturing Masters – EMC Canada

If you are not a member, we would encourage you to explore what value EMC could provide to your organization. As with everything we do, members drive activity; always feel free to reach out with thoughts suggestions and ideas…. we couldn’t do it without you!
