Three frameworks for three contexts
Generic skills can develop in everyday life and work. They can be transferred or used in another life or work context.
These skills frameworks are intended to stakeholders who work in minority communities in Canada.
The fourteen skills that make up the three frameworks were selected from an existing framework : Nos compétences fortes, by Institut de coopération pour l’éducation des adultes (ICÉA).
We chose to work from Nos compétences fortes as this framework was designed after extensive research in the field of generic skills; Moreover, it has been put to the test since its creation in 1995, and recognized for its coherence and relevance.
