SUPPORTING CANADIANS TO NAVIGATE LEARNING AND WORK
Project Update – May 2020
- The project work plan has been revised to meet project deliverables while respecting COVID-19 containment and prevention measures. A big thanks to everyone who has adjusted their schedule to make this possible.
- Validation of the Competency Framework is now underway, with well over 100 CDPs reviewing the final versions of the competencies that make up the framework. The content of the competencies being validated has gone through a rigorous review by hundreds of subject matter experts in all 13 provinces and territories. The purpose of validation is to ensure that the framework is complete, accurate and clear. We expect that the public will see the full framework in the Fall of 2020.
- We are progressing into the second phase of the project where we will begin the journey towards national certification. The first step in this process is digging deeply into the competency framework to draft the assessment blueprint while leaning on the expertise of subject matter expert CDP.
-We have begun to create infrastructure for the future national certifying body, by establishing the new National Certification Steering Committee (NCSC). This evolving committee will lay the foundation needed to build a sustainable and progressive certification program, including a national certifying body, that will outlast this project! Recruitment of 10-15 SMEs from all 13 provinces and territories is underway, with the goal of striking the new NCSC in early June.
-We are partnering with AXTRA (l'Alliance des centres-conseils en emploi) over the next year for the following work: Adaptation of English Competency Framework to French Adaptation of English Assessment Tools to French
