Given your description of a champion, I would say that Nova Scotia is home to many of them.
My question pertains to practices on the ground.
Say an employee who wants to improve their second-language skills goes to talk to their supervisor. It could be a francophone wanting to learn English or an anglophone wanting to learn French. What suggestions or supports would the supervisor give the employee? The employee may not even speak the second language, which is all the more problematic. What is available to help that person?
