COVID-19 has left many Canadian businesses scrambling to meet the new needs of their customers. Our Recovery Activation Program will help you harness technology to evolve and energize your business so you can thrive in the new normal.
Thanks to partnership with the Government of Canada and Government of Ontario, the Toronto Region Board of Trade can offer this program to all businesses across Ontario for free.
To get started, you just need to take your Digital Needs Assessment (DNA).
The Recovery Activation Program (RAP) is a no cost, immersive series of highly practical online programs that are designed to help you identify areas to modernize your business so that you can confidently take on all the challenges that are thrown at you in the wake of COVID-19, such as managing your workforce virtually, finding new customers without going to a tradeshow, and managing disrupted supply chains – just to name a few.
In three steps – taking a Digital Needs Assessment, engaging in virtual sessions, and working with industry leading experts to plan your digital transformation – you will be on your way to new growth and opportunities.
Take your first step toward digital transformation by completing your DNA today.
RAP will take you through three steps of online exercises and sessions, with the goal of helping your company thrive in a changed business landscape.
Stage 1 – Digital Needs Assessment
You will complete a comprehensive Digital Needs Assessment, to identify core competencies/gaps in the digital capacity of your business. It is helpful to get input from other people in your organization, to paint an accurate picture.
Stage 2 – Course Curation
Our program experts will reach out and determine the appropriate program streams designed to help you take the next step in your restructure based on the current stage of your digital maturity.
Stage 3 – Up-skilling and Implementation
You will attend engaging virtual presentations and workshops led by RAP partners and industry experts to help you plan your digital transformation.
RAP’s cost is sponsored, and supports firms of any size across Ontario. If you’re thinking of applying to the program, your business should meet the following criteria:
