Association of Industry Sector Councils (AISC)

The Association of Industry Sector Councils (AISC) has been a successful forum for the past 20 years for 14 Industry Sector Councils (ISCs) to share ideas, challenges, and best practices. AISC acts as a convenor organization, by assembling, organizing and bringing together Nova Scotia's industry, education, government and DEI representatitves to tackle the challenges and opportunities that our province's workforce is facing. ISCs across Nova Scotia support the growth and development of the province's labour force - they are like Human Resource departments for their industry. Recently, AISC has become more focused on building capacity by advancing cross-sector initiatives, in particular, in the areas of Training, Diversity Equity and Inclusion, and Labour Marketing Information. AISC's important activity affects companies representing 54% of Nova Scotia's GDP and 60% of its population (employees and their families.)
