Competition in the Voluntary Sector:
The Case of Community-Based Trainers in Alberta

By Walter J. Hossli
 

The 1990s have seen tremendous changes in the delivery of social services. This book explores one significant trend, the increased competition between agencies, specifically in Alberta, and how it affects those who deliver employment and self-employment training, the community-based trainers. The author highlights key competitive activities voluntary agencies now undertake to provide their services in the current environment. He explores the changes in funding, programming, administration, and more as agencies increasingly adopt a business model to survive. Recommendations aimed at alleviating some of the negative aspects of this new reality are made for funders, service providers, and stakeholders.
