Calian Wins Contract to Boost CAF Training

Calian has been awarded a contract by the Canadian Armed Forces' Canadian Forces Health Services Group (CFHSG), which is valued at $17 million for three years. The contract also includes an option to extend for a fourth year, potentially increasing the total value to $23 million.

Calian will deliver comprehensive administrative, instructional and courseware development solutions to enhance CFHSG training initiatives across Canada, including support for the Royal Canadian Dental Corps and Canadian Forces Medical Services. Work will bolster critical training programs at military bases across the country to include environmental medicine development, engineering and evaluation of human performance and protective systems, combat medical simulation, and operational medicine and dental practices. Calian’s work will enable an increase in training throughput with the introduction of eLearning, allowing the CAF to more efficiently meet operational readiness goals.

“A tailored approach to training is crucial—which means connecting the right expertise with specific needs to ensure high efficacy in all situations,” explains Jay Ballard, VP, Defence Learning, Calian. “Our comprehensive understanding of the CAF’s operational requirements, paired with our dual capabilities in health and training solutions, enables us to craft customized training solutions that precisely address the needs of each training program.”
