Mapping Skills for Success reduces skills gaps and better aligns training with evolving workforce demands.
As part of this effort, Canadians will receive tailored recommendations and labour market insights to help them build in-demand skills and pursue their career goals.
This national initiative supports the implementation of the Skills for Success model. The initiative will have two key elements:
- An interactive online tool that helps learners create personalized pathways by identifying their skills, understanding gaps, and connecting with relevant training opportunities offered by CICan member colleges and institutes.
- A resource hub for employers and educators, offering insights into the Skills for Success model and its application to enhance teaching, training, hiring, and workforce development.
By integrating the Skills for Success model into training and hiring practices, we foster stronger connections between job seekers and employment opportunities, align workforce skills with business growth needs, and contribute to a more resilient, adaptable labour market.
What Are the Skills for Success?
The Skills for Success model, developed by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), identifies nine essential skills critical for success in learning, work, and life: Reading, Writing, Numeracy, Digital Literacy, Problem-Solving, Communication, Adaptability, Collaboration, and Creativity and Innovation.
