An improved system for recognizing the learning of immigrants and other Canadians would go a long way towards turning the current brain drain into a future brain gain.
This research found that three groups would gain the most, because they suffer the most serious problems in having their learning recognized and rewarded.
They are:
- immigrants;
- people with prior learning gained through work and training; and
- transferees between post-secondary learning institutions or, in the case of licensed professions, between provinces.
Governments, employers and credential-granting institutions will learn about learning recognition and the school-to-work transition; what people do when their learning is unrecognized; potential for improvements; and provides options for action that are available to government, educators, regulators and employers.
