With Canada’s unemployment rate rising, the recognition and assessment of skills and abilities is a priority for those in human resource development, career planning and education and training. CAPLA’s fall conference will be looking at innovative prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) and qualification recognition (QR) practices, programs and services that contribute to a comprehensive approach to labour market development and renewal, while supporting individuals as they examine their skills and career options.
