Learning solutions: Empowering People, Advancing Performance, Enabling Growth

At SYSTRA Canada, the Learning Design team creates innovative learning solutions tailored to client needs. With deep expertise in the transit industry experience, their learning solutions are custom fit with direct relevance to both business and learning objectives.

Where Skills Meet Business Goals

Learning & Development (L&D) plays a pivotal role in driving business success. By building capabilities in technical, process, and behavioural skills, we support employee performance and organizational growth. Impactful learning solutions go beyond knowledge transfer – it’s about designing relevant, engaging, and results-driven experiences that align with business goals.

Truly effective learning solutions are those that:

Build the right skills and knowledge;
Are engaging and inclusive;
Incorporate learning metrics to measure and maximize effectiveness.

Our focus is on creating experiences that motivate learners, support on-the-job performance, and drive measurable results.

redefining learning for business success

Our vision is to empower every employee with the skills, confidence, and curiosity to thrive in their role today and grow into the opportunities of tomorrow. We are committed to creating a continuous learning culture that fosters innovation, adaptability, and individual growth—turning learning into a strategic enabler of business transformation.

Our L&D strategy aligns capability building directly with organizational goals through:

● Business Alignment: We co-create solutions with stakeholders to ensure learning solves real business challenges.

● Customized Learning Solutions: We design engaging, fit-for-purpose programs using the right blend of digital, in-person, and experiential methods.

● Measurement & Metrics: We track learning effectiveness using KPIs tied to strategic business objectives, enabling us to refine and improve continuously.

● Continuous Improvement Culture: We embed feedback loops, learner data, and innovation into every stage of the learning cycle.

● Multi-Modal Delivery: We meet learners where they are—whether that’s in the field, at a desk, or on the move—with modern, multimedia, and AI-enhanced learning options.

Our designers are certified learning professionals who hold PMP designations and are experienced in the transit industry. They are skilled in all phases of creating learning solutions by using cutting-edge design techniques and development tools and possess strong skills in needs analysis, facilitation and change management practices.

OUR Work in Action: CASE STUDIES

The following examples demonstrate our ability to design and implement effective learning solutions with tangible results:

Competency Framework Implementation

Designed and implemented an enterprise-wide Competency Framework to map role expectations and support career development for the Project Managers working on the Metrolinx GO Expansion program. This framework also aligned L&D programming with performance reviews, development planning, and succession pipelines.

Rail Operations Readiness Curriculum

Developed and delivered a customized curriculum for the Metrolinx GO Expansion program which highlighted the systematic transfer of assets for major transit projects. Included stakeholder consultation, role-specific learning journeys, simulations, and phased rollout across functional teams. This resulted in improved cross-departmental alignment and reduced operational friction during mobilization.

Early Warning Systems Training

Created an experiential learning program to improve risk identification and responses. Included real-world scenarios, decision-making simulations, and escalation protocol training. Contributed to measurable improvements in early reporting and compliance metrics.

The Transformative Impact of Strategic L&D

Through thoughtful design and strategic alignment, our L&D approach not only elevates employee capability—it drives performance, strengthens culture, and fuels business success. When learning is intentional, engaging, and strategically aligned, its impact is transformative. The approach makes a difference through stronger workforce capability, improved business performance, a culture of continuous improvement, and leadership readiness.
