In a dynamic and ever-changing labour market, we need to help students acquire, reflect on, and articulate competencies throughout post-secondary study. This encourages agency over their career paths by supporting their pursuits beyond their degree and within a variety of industries and career paths. Students and graduates can use their competencies to bring interdisciplinary skills to an array of opportunities. But how do post-secondary institutions build the right systems and uphold inter-departmental collaboration to drive competency development for learners? In this podcast, University of Manitoba explores their development of a competency framework and what they learned along the way. From promotion to uptake amongst stakeholders, building transparency, challenges, and hopes for impact, this episode informs anyone in education or employment curious about competency development or considering the role of competencies in the future workforce.
