Executive Training (Government of SK Programs)

The Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School (JSGS) is an interdisciplinary centre for public policy research, teaching, outreach and training, with campuses at the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan. We have a four-year contract with the Government of Saskatchewan to provide an Executive Training program, which we have developed primarily into three streams:

  1. Deputy Minister Briefings bring together decision-makers for a few hours of discussion and dialogue on the intricacies of the job itself, focusing on a specific issue or topic.
  2. The Executive Development Sessions are aimed at Deputy Ministers, Assistant/Associate Deputy Ministers and Executive Directors on a relevant topic of interest.
  3. The Policy Workshop Series is aimed at policy employees who would benefit from greater skill development in areas related to policy development and those responsible for policy program development and delivery. Workshops address topics such as Evaluation, Policy Analysis, Preparing Briefing Notes and Comparative Analysis.
