After another difficult selection process, given the quality and number of applications from across the country and the sector, CHRC is pleased to announce the 24 successful cultural leaders in the second cohort of its Talent to Lead (T2L) programme. There are 12 in the English stream and 12 in the French stream. Our partners at La Chaire de gestion des arts Carmelle et Rémi-Marcoux at HEC in Montréal, and the well-established mentorship programme in Québec, Mentorat culturel, were especially helpful in the selection process for the francophone candidates.

The anglophone T2L participants are:

Central to the training of these mid-career managers are mentorships with senior cultural leaders. Another important aspect of T2L is a series of 10 monthly webinars on HR related issues, from a leader's point of view. The participants “attend” learning webinar sessions based on CHRC's HR Management Toolkit and presented by professionals from the highly respected Williams HR Law firm in Toronto in English; and organized through la Chaire de gestion des arts Carmelle et Rémi-Marcoux at HEC in Montréal in French. Although they are spread out across the country, as with the first cohort, the T2L participants will grow as a “cohort of peers”, sharing their learnings through the webinars and a protected website for exchanges of questions, challenges and successes. You will find the mentorship teams listed on the Participants page.

The programme for the second cohort runs until January 2018.
