• Memorandum of Understanding with Respect to a Joint Learning Program
• Terms of Reference for the Joint Steering Committee
• Terms of Reference for the Joint Advisory Committee on Learning

The Joint Learning Program (JLP) is guided by a Joint Steering Committee that is co-chaired by Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) President, Robyn Benson and Ross MacLeod, Assistant Deputy Minister, Governance, Planning and Policies, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and is comprised of three senior representatives from the union and three senior representatives from the employer. In addition to the Joint Steering Committee the JLP has an Joint Advisory Committee on Learning, which is comprised of an equal number of union and employer representatives, four on each side. This group provides the Joint Steering Committee with advice on matters that relate to learning. Finally, two Co-directors have been appointed to coordinate the program, and a national JLP administrative office has been established. The office is located in the PSAC headquarters at 233 Gilmour and is staffed by PSAC and federal Public Service employees. Twelve regional coordinators (two coordinators for each region, one representing the union and the other one the employer) have been hired in the six following regions: Atlantic Region, Quebec Region, National Capital Region, Ontario and Eastern Arctic Region, Prairies and Northwest Territories and British Columbia/Yukon Region
