Skills for Success Proficiency Levels Development
In May 2021, the Skills for Success model was launched to provide a common structure that aligns program and policy transformation with evolving skill and workforce development needs. Along with the skill descriptions, the launch of Skills for Success included preliminary proficiency descriptors; however, it was seen as important to build a stronger evidence base before providing more details (Palameta et al., 2021; Nguyen et al., 2022). This project, Skills for Success Proficiency Levels Development, was conceptualized as the first step toward addressing the need for more detailed proficiency levels and descriptions. The project aimed to produce a richer set of conceptual resources on skills proficiency to inform and inspire further work.
Skills for Success Proficiency Levels Development was conceptualized as the first step toward addressing the need for more proficiency details. The project aimed to produce a richer set of conceptual resources on skills proficiency to inform and inspire further work. Led by SRDC and funded by the Skills for Success Program, this project consolidated existing knowledge on skills proficiency in Canada and international jurisdictions, adding more depth to the conceptualization of Skills for Success proficiency that was developed prior to its launch. In the current project, we aimed to set a strong foundation upon which further work can emerge to support the continuation of Skills for Success implementation.
