Proposed Amendments to the APPR Published for Consultation
Ottawa, December 21, 2024 – Proposed amendments to the Assessment of Prior Learning and Recognition of Experience (APPR) have been published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, for consultation.
The APPR is a federal government program that provides funding to organizations to assess and recognize the skills and knowledge that individuals have acquired outside of formal education and training. The proposed amendments would make several changes to the program, including:
- Expanding the definition of prior learning to include experience gained in volunteer, community, or personal activities
- Increasing the maximum funding available to organizations for APPR projects
- Streamlining the application process and reporting requirements
- Expanding the APPR Advisory Committee to include representatives from a wider range of stakeholders
The proposed amendments are intended to make the APPR more accessible and effective, and to better support individuals in obtaining the recognition they need for their skills and knowledge.
The consultation period will close on January 20, 2025. Comments on the proposed amendments can be submitted online or by mail to:
APPR Consultation Employment and Social Development Canada 150 Kent Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0J2
