The Apparel Human Resources Council (AHRC) is a national, industry-led, independent, non-profit organisation representing and serving the human resources development and adjustment needs of managers and employees in the apparel manufacturing industry. It is managed by a private sector Board of Directors equally representative of employers and employees. Through the AHRC, management, labour, provincial and national industry associations, government departments, educational institutions and other stakeholders work in partnership to address a wide range of issues including training and development, education, adjustment issues, communications, and enhancement of the industry’s image.

Our mandate is to create business opportunities for our industry by developing tools and services to help apparel manufacturers recruit, hire and retain a creative and an innovative workforce.
