Who we are

Areas of Intervention

A  A  A
RDÉE Ontario stands out for its multiple fields of intervention operating through a variety of programs available across Ontario. We act on three principal strategic directions in which are included five major areas of intervention.
 

Economic development

Area 1: Supporting Entrepreneurship
The development of Francophones businesses in Ontario contributes to Ontario’s economic growth. Our goal is to enhance the economic development of these communities and help them grow.   

Area 2: Supporting Industries and Economic Sectors
We actively participate in the decision-making processes of our regions. Our objectives are to help Francophones to participate and speak on economic issues that affect them and to establish strategic partnerships for their inclusion in the economic development on Ontario.
 

Employability

Area 3: Supporting Employability
Employability is one of the main components sustaining the existence of our network. Our goal is to contribute to reducing the gap between supply and labor demands by acting simultaneously on the two great labor market forces: French labor and the job market.
 

Capacity building and partnerships

Area 4: Supporting community capacity building
Francophone communities want to take action of their development process. Partnerships are the key element in this area of intervention. Our goal is to increase the capacity of groups and organization so that they can initiate and manage their communities’ economic development initiatives.


Area 5: Ensure sustainability of RDÉE Ontario by the diversification of its funding
Our fifth and last area includes all others. RDÉE Ontario receives more support many support requests from businesses. Funding received from our major donor (ESDC) does not currently allow us to offer the specialized services these businesses require (Area 1). We are constantly seeking new funding to expand and significantly improve our services to businesses.
