Professional Development Webinars
Learning is about more than professional growth here at PMC Training. It’s about creating positive change in our workplaces, our communities, and the world around us. That’s why our professional development webinars don’t just teach valuable skills, they help support local charities in carrying out their mission.
When you register for one of our free monthly webinars, you’re helping strengthen the local community and supporting our efforts to provide learning and professional development opportunities to a local charity.
You don’t have to donate. Simply show up, learn something new, and know that your participation contributes to an important cause.

How Our Webinars Work
Each month, we select a Canadian charity or community organization that’s doing meaningful work in the Ottawa region. It might be a group supporting Indigenous programs, youth mentorship, mental health programs, food security, or employment readiness. Every organization we choose shares our belief in empowering people through learning and connection.
Through every one of our professional development webinars, PMC Training makes an in-kind charitable donation to the chosen charity of the month.
Many of the charities we support rely on volunteers and operate with limited resources. Our donation, in the form of free training for the charity’s staff and volunteers, helps them strengthen their skills, work more efficiently, and make an even greater difference in the communities they serve.
What to Expect
PMC Training’s free monthly webinars are short, focused learning sessions designed for busy professionals. Each 30-minute webinar explores a timely professional development theme through a practical lens, grounded in real situations people are navigating at work.
Topics may include areas such as project management, change management, leadership, communication, productivity, and more to support Canadian professionals in their work.
Each webinar also includes a brief introduction from the featured charity of the month, offering a short window into their work and the communities they serve.
Come as you are. Listen, learn, and take away something useful for the week ahead.
The Charities We Support
We’re proud to highlight the incredible organizations that make our communities stronger. When choosing which charities to support, we look for organizations that:
- Serve the National Capital Region of Ottawa, Ontario and/or Indigenous communities
- Promote learning, skill development, or community wellbeing
- Empower Indigenous individuals, organizations, and communities across Canada
- Demonstrate measurable impact and responsible stewardship of resources
- Reflect PMC Training’s values of inclusion, collaboration, and continuous growth
Past charities have included local food banks, Indigenous organizations, youth programs, and community organizations focused on education, housing, and employment right here in Ottawa. Every one of them shares a commitment to making our world a better place.
If there’s a charity you’d like us to consider for future webinars, we’d love to hear from you. This initiative is meant to stay community-driven, focusing on causes that matter to the people who join us each month.
