SUBJECT

Essential Employability Skills (EES) are transferable skills that provide the foundation of a student’s academic, vocational and personal success regardless of their program or discipline of study.

Essential employability skills fall under the following six themes:

All Post-Secondary programs (excluding Graduate Certificates) will introduce, teach, and assess the Essential Employability Skills through discrete learning outcomes in appropriate courses throughout the duration of the program.
The comprehensive program review process identifies where learning outcomes for Essential Employability Skills are introduced, taught, and assessed throughout a program to ensure students will have the opportunity to reliably demonstrate acquisition of these skills.
Essential Employability Skills covered in individual courses are indicated on the course outlines.
Professional development is available through the Learning Excellence and Innovation Department (LEID) webpage to assist faculty with the knowledge and/or skills required to teach and assess essential employability skills.
