SCOPE OF WORK
The IRB is an administrative tribunal consisting of four distinctly mandated divisions. Each division comprises independent decision-makers, or members, who make quasi-judicial decisions on immigration and refugee matters. The members are the end-users of learning and professional development services beginning with their initial appointment as new members and on an ongoing basis. Identifying, organizing and delivering their LPD needs is spread across three IRB groups—the divisions (end-users), Legal Services (subject-matter experts), and the Learning and Professional Development Directorate (LPDD). This study will assess the current state of the effectiveness and efficiency of the LPD function and recommend options for their improvement. Only adjudicative LPD, as distinguished from corporate and workplace learning, is the focus of this study.
The Contractor must conduct the study using the methodology framework and data collection tools created by the IRB, consisting of:
Interviews of 40 to 50 key informants in group and individual interviews by telephone or videoconference
Online survey administered through the Contractor’s in-house facilities. The survey will cover 200 to 250 members of the IRB and consist of approximately 75 items
Analysis of key documents and data addressing the current state of LPD at the IRB
Review approaches of similar administrative tribunals (to be determined) through approximately six interviews, literature review, and analysis of key documents and data.
