A recent project with employment counsellors in Alberta showed that not everyone in the field is working from a consistent definition of essential skills. This session will summarize the Alberta project findings and provide an overview of a current national project aimed at integrating the essential skills framework and tools into the employment counselling process and services.

Learning Outcomes:

• Review and clarify the essential skills framework;
• Show how essential skills relate directly to career development;
• Unveil a national project partnering with employment counsellors
