History

The FPHRC is a non-profit, industry-driven organization which has its beginnings in a two year, two phase initiative to create the council, supported by the food processing and manufacturing industry across Canada. 

Created in 2009 as a council for Canadian food processors, the Food Processing Human Resources Council (FPHRC) will work long term with industry partners, processors, educators and regulatory agencies to develop a stronger, more prosperous industry with leading edge standards of employee preparedness and productivity through human resource strategies and programs.

The FPHRC will provide national leadership as a forum and support for industry to address human resource issues, assisting in building a competitive, sustainable, and attractive industry, and regionally through their representatives to assist all processors and their workers with training, skills upgrading and more.

Partnership will be the catalyst for skills development and industry knowledge. Skills development materials are based on national occupational standards set by industry and by regulatory agencies.
