Skill Centre ApproachThe Skill Centre Approach is a collaborative effort to create an innovative research-based framework to establish a workable model for the evaluation, implementation, growth, and sustainability of current and future K – 12 system Career and Technical Education in Alberta.
The approach is strategically designed to be flexible and adaptable to other educational settings and jurisdictions in the province.
(Pan Provincial Model)
Through defining the program, teacher qualifications, and resources, a model will be developed that will result in post-secondary recognition of high school learning in career and technical education.
“Recognition”• is an option that a student may choose to exercise• has described advantages for any student• does not disadvantage the student• does not require entrance into a post-sec program to
exercise, and• does not require additional examinations
