Skills For Success Validation Study
Bow Valley College (BVC) is conducting a study to support the Employment and Social Development Canada’s (ESDC) Office of Skills for Success (OSS) in the development and validation of the new Skills for Success model, skill components, and proficiency levels. The project aims to establish reliable mechanisms for evaluating proficiency, and contribute to the adoption of the Skills for Success by national stakeholders. SRDC is the research and evaluation partner to BVC to facilitate three key objectives of the project: (1) Providing evidence of valid implementation and application of BVC’s assessments of four key skill domains (Reading, Numeracy, Writing, and Digital Skills) under the Skills for Success framework, (2) Evaluating the suitability and efficacy of skill development curriculums and online training of the four key skill domains under the Skills for Success framework for lower-skill Canadians, and (3) Establishing predictive validity of the revised Skills for Success assessments through the piloted online skills development training and subsequent education and labour market outcomes with reference to the four key skill domains under the Skills for Success model.
