Skills identification and articulation workshop

The skills identification and articulation workshop helps students identify the skills they have developed in and out the classroom and the skills they will develop throughout their undergraduate career. Students who complete the workshop will recognize their skills and develop strategies for expressing these skills to target audiences (e.g. potential employers).

The workshop is facilitated by a career advisor from the Centre for Career Action.

Students can complete EDGE's skills identification and articulation workshop in one of two ways:

they can attend a standalone workshop offered by the Centre for Career Action;
they can successfully complete an academic course that offers the workshop as part of its course content. Visit our page devoted to EDGE courses for a full list of courses that include the skills identification and articulation workshop.

Where can I sign up for the skills identification and articulation workshop?

You can sign up for the standalone skills identification and articulation workshop using a form on the EDGE website. It’s easy to register — just fill out the form and select either an open or faculty-specific workshop from the dropdown menu.

If you’re completing the skills identification and articulation workshop as part of an academic course, you’ll be automatically signed up as part of your enrolment in the course.

How long does it take to complete the skills identification and articulation workshop?

The skills identification and articulation workshop lasts roughly two hours. The workshop runs for the same length whether it’s being completed as part of an academic course or on a standalone basis.

I've already completed a workshop with the Centre for Career Action. Does this workshop count as an equivalency for EDGE purposes?

You won’t be able to receive an EDGE milestone for any Centre for Career Action workshops other than the skills identification and articulation workshop. However, you may be eligible for an EDGE milestone if you completed a pilot version of the workshop as part of certain academic courses during the 2016/2017 academic year. Visit our EDGE milestone eligibility page for more information.
