As a Special Operating Agency within the Correctional Service of Canada, CORCAN helps offenders prepare for employment as part of their rehabilitation.
Document Highlights
CORCAN’s innovative Offender Employability Skills Project addresses one of the major problems confronting offenders when they seek to re-enter society as contributing citizens: their lack of the generic skills, attitudes and behaviours needed to find and keep a job.
The Agency uses its modified version of the Employability Skills Profile in two ways:
- to demonstrate to offenders the positive impact of enhancing generic skills such as those outlined in the Employability Skills Profile, and
- to measure and evaluate the employability skills of offenders who participate in the program, using the Profile as the basis for a performance assessment tool.
