ACEC And Canadian Industrial Security Directorate Partnering on Courses

Due to the higher volume in federal-related work that will flow from the federal stimulus package, Public Works and Government Services Canada, through its Industrial Security Directorate office, has partnered with ACEC to offer seminars to ACEC members on how to facilitate the process of obtaining federal security clearances. Given that many of the new federal projects will require at least a basic federal security clearance, these seminars are designed to accelerate the process for firms to complete the necessary paperwork and submit applications for much quicker approval of security clearances. CISD claims that process times can be shortened from a matter of months to a matter of weeks.

If your firm is interested in having a seminar organized in your area, or to inquire whether a seminar is already being planned for your area, contact Jeff Morrison at jmorrison@acec.caby June 15 for more information.
