"We are thrilled to be the first employer in the province to be recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to allow certification for a Customer Service Apprenticeship program," said Richard Early, Just Energy's Vice President of Human Resources." "It is a program made available through our BizLibrary-enabled LMS (Learning Management System). With BizLibrary, we have added a depth and breadth of learning enablement that fulfills an important core value for us as an organization. We are committed to providing an empowering and supportive workplace that facilitates personal growth and development for every one of our employees."

"We are extremely pleased to recognize Just Energy for successfully implementing its integrated learning program," said Shannon Kluczny, Vice President of Client Services at BizLibrary.
