Ontario Skills Passport / Passeport-compétences de l'Ontario
The Ontario Skills Passport (OSP) is a resource that provides clear descriptions of the skills used in virtually all occupations, as well as important work habits. It also provides employers with a consistent method of assessing and recording the demonstration of these skills and work habits in the workplace. The skills listed in the OSP are transferable skills that all learners (including high school students and adult learners), job seekers and workers can take from job to job, sector to sector and school to work.
In the LINKS section of the OSP website (http://skills.edu.gov.on.ca), you can access OSP-related information, including a tutorial, a brochure and teacher/practitioner-developed resources to support the use of the OSP in a variety of educational and training contexts.
Le Passeport-compétences de l'Ontario (PCO) est une ressource qui présente une description claire des compétences requises dans pratiquement toutes les professions ainsi que les habitudes de travail importantes. Il offre également une méthode cohérente pour l'employeur d'évaluer et de consigner la démonstration en milieu de travail de ces compétences et habitudes de travail. Les compétences figurant au PCO sont les compétences transférables qu'un apprenant (incluant l'élève du secondaire et l'apprenant adulte), un chercheur d'emploi et un travailleur peuvent transférer d'une profession à l'autre, d'un secteur à l'autre et de l'école au monde du travail.
Dans la section SITES APPARENTÉS au site web du PCO (http://skills.edu.gov.on.ca), vous pouvez avoir accès aux renseignements reliés au PCO tels qu'un tutoriel, une brochure et des ressources développées par des enseignants/praticiens qui appuient l'utilisation du PCO dans divers contextes éducationnels et de formation.
