CMEC requires the services of an experienced bilingual consultant to carry out two overarching Project requirements (details provided below): 1) identify differences and commonalities among existing provincial/territorial processes for assessing credentials and awarding certification, and then, following this review, provide recommendations to address remaining barriers to IET mobility to and within Canada. 2) the selected Proponent will analyze current entry-to-practice requirements in provinces and territories for IETs with vocational, trades, and/or technology credentials, and subsequently develop a report outlining the requirements for assessing their credentials through Pathways.
The Proponent will be provided with preexisting scans and tables, which outline initial comparative work in this regard.
As a result of the outcome of work described in item 1) of the Project scope, an expanded pan-Canadian consensus regarding the alignment of credential assessment and recognition practices with the aim to further streamline the certification process for IETs will be produced.
Additionally, as a result of the outcome of work described in item 2) of the Project scope, participating provinces and territories will aim to reach consensus on policies and procedures that will enable IETs who are teachers of vocational, trades, and/or technology studies to use the Pathways to Teach Canada service.
The key milestones for the Project should include:
- project kickoff meeting(s)
- project setup
- approval of the overall project plan
- progress reports and weekly check-ins
- final report
