TOWES Skills for Success: Validation Study
Timeframe:
April 2021
to
May 2025
The Skills for Success: Validation Study is a national applied research initiative, led by Bow Valley College. This multi-year project aims to validate and support the new Skills for Success model.
This study leverages the expertise, experience, extensive historical data pool, network of national partners and consulting experts, and incorporates technological advancements in Bow Valley College's Test of Workplace Essential Skills (TOWES).
How does this project help?
The study’s main objectives are to support the national adoption of and transition to Skills for Success through validated applied research, specifically as it relates to Reading, Numeracy, Writing, and Digital Skills. This includes conducting quantitative and qualitative analyses to evaluate and demonstrate the new model’s efficacy, reliability, and validity.
The project will also develop and pilot a suite of modular workplace-based online asynchronous training resources (in English and French) focused on skill enhancement, paired with evaluation to measure proficiencies aligned with the new model.
