In 2021, the Canadian Career Development Foundation (CCDF) started the first of six cohorts in an RCT with 13 community partners in five provinces. This fall, we delivered the fourth of six. Interim results will be available in 2024, and the final report will be published in 2025.
In conjunction with the RCT, Employment and Skills Development Canada’s Office of Skills for Success granted CCDF a project to test a process of integrating the Skills for Success into pre-employment programming (in this case, IM&M+) and create a self-assessment tool so that participants can see their skills development progression. This project produced:
Improving Labour Market Attachment Through Skills for Success Identification in In Motion & Momentum+, outlining the process for integrating the Skills for Success into pre-employment programming.
Researchers created nine distinct Skills Cards representing each skill category. Cards help participants keep track of times when they used a skill from the frameworks.
This worksheet helps participant track the accumulation of their Skills Card and begin to reflect on how they developed these skills.
A post-pre assessment tool that helps participants assess their own skills development and build a plan for future development. The Snapshot is available free to anyone who wants an easy way to track your skill development.
With Indigenous Services Canada, CCDF is working with community partners to deliver two sessions of IM&M+ in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and train facilitators from five Indigenous-led organizations to have the capacity to deliver the program. This project will be completed in 2024
Throughout its development, IM&M+ has been delivered by diverse organizations serving youth, people with disabilities, newcomers, racialized groups, Indigenous people, 2SLGBTQIA+ and people involved with justice across multiple provinces. We are grateful to the following partners who have contributed to IM&M+’s evidence base.
