Canada鈥檚 Ocean Supercluster (OSC) has launched a second Call for Proposals under its Ocean Leaders Impact Program (OLIP). The program focuses on developing new opportunities and building on the experienced talent pool in Canada鈥檚 ocean economy.

The Ocean Leaders Impact Program Call for Proposals is designed for projects with a term ending by March 31, 2023. The OLIP Call is specifically targeting strategic opportunities that will attract experienced ocean talent and invest in current ocean leaders, partnering with projects that will:

  • Expand the highly skilled ocean talent pool through domestic recruitment efforts targeted outside the ocean economy;
  • Support ocean SMEs ability to secure senior leaders and specialized talents from international markets;
  • Focus on the near-term career advancement of employees with senior leadership potential with Canadian Ocean SMEs; and
  • Advance leadership opportunities for diverse and underrepresented groups.
