Ressources humaines et Développements social Canada. L'ICMT(Initiative en matière de compétences en milieu de travail) est une des principales composantes de la Stratégie des compétences en milieu de travail(SCMT) du gouvernement du Canada. Afin d’aider les entreprises à demeurer compétitives et à relever ce défi en ce qui a trait aux ressources humaines, le gouvernement du Canada a mis en œuvre l'Initiative en matière de compétences en milieu de travail(ICMT).

Des études révèlent que le fait de développer les compétences des ressources humaines en milieu de travail et d’améliorer leur rendement accroît la productivité et la rentabilité. L'ICMT repose sur les partenariats.
