My program standards contain generic skills. How are they different from Essential Employability Skills?
Prior to 2004, the part of the program standard that identified transferable skills needed for success in the workplace and in other areas of life referred to these skills as generic skills. In 2004 the generic skills were reviewed and revised. The updated list of transferable skills expected of all college graduates refers to these skills as Essential Employability Skills (EES). Previously there were 13 generic skill learning outcomes expected of diploma graduates (graduates of both 2 and 3 year programs) and 11 generic skill learning outcomes expected of graduates from certificate programs. Now there are 11 EES learning outcomes expected of all graduates of programs that lead to any of the Ontario College credentials. The way the graduate will be expected to demonstrate these EES has been described differently for each of the credential levels.
