Delivery Partner Manager, Bc & Territories

ZoomHR has partnered with our client, Palette Skills, in the search for a Delivery Partner Manager to join their team!

Palette Skills is a national nonprofit that trains Canadians for careers in growing industries. Since their launch we have created three successful upskilling programs: SalesCamp, which prepares people for the world of B2B tech sales, Digital Agriculture and Automation, and previously, Accelerated Cyber Security Training Program. While these sectors are different from each other, their approach is the same: to train and connect individuals with great foundational skills to employers struggling to find the talent they need. Their model is so successful that it has resulted in 90% of graduates from their inaugural SalesCamp program receiving a job offer after completing the program.

By building partnerships with industry, Palette Skills gives innovative companies access to traditionally untapped labour markets, and creates pathways to career growth through demand-driven, industry-led accelerated skilling programs that lead upskilled workers into new, high demand tech jobs.
