More specifically, the project broadens and deepens existing capacity-building efforts in the skills and employment training sector by scaling up the use of our SfS-aligned online measurement platform; testing new SFS measurement options, including self-report and objective assessment methodologies; developing, delivering, and evaluating new SFS curricula, training resources, and assessment tools; and disseminating findings, best practices and lessons learned to continue building sectoral knowledge and capacity.

The report provides a set of overarching principles and emerging practices to inform the design, development, delivery, and evaluation of Skills for Success training programs that address both learner and industry needs. It describes the specific roles key stakeholders such as training organizations, instructors, employers, community members, and funders can play to improve training accessibility, learner engagement, skill assessment, and workplace application of newly acquired skills.

The report was produced in collaboration with an expert Advisory Panel representing training and sectoral organizations across Canada, each of whom provided access to their extensive networks of training practitioners and employers for further feedback. It reflects the Government of Canada’s commitment to support training that is responsive to employer and industry priorities while also meeting the needs of learners who have been historically underrepresented in the labour market and underserved by the traditional education system.

We hope that the report will serve as an idea generator and stimulate further collaborative initiatives to develop tools, resources, and programs to advance the effective implementation of Skills for Success and contribute to Canada’s broader workforce development objectives.

As part of the project, SRDC is designing and implementing a cohesive evaluation framework and data collection tools that not only track the progress of participating apprentices but also collect input and feedback from trades instructors, employers, unions, and other stakeholders to inform current and future products, tools, and services. The project contributes to facilitate the entry, retention, and advancement of underrepresented groups in the trades through an innovative, self-directed approach to online learning and interaction.

It is designed to provide equal opportunity and access for groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the trades, such as women, newcomers, visible minorities, Indigenous Peoples, youth, and low-skilled and displaced workers. Findings, best practices, and lessons learned from this project will be shared to support larger-scale expansion of this technology-driven approach to skills development within and beyond the construction sector.
