Skills identification and articulation workshop

The skills identification and articulation workshop helps students identify the skills they have developed in and outside of 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 three ways:

they can attend a standalone workshop offered by the Centre for Career Action;
they can complete the online skills identification and articulation workshop and quiz content in the EDGE Learn Community
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.

Additionally, all students can access the online skills identification and articulation workshop through the self registration tool in Learn.

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

You can sign up for the standalone skills identification and articulation workshop through Waterloo Works, under Career Centre Events.

EDGE students can complete the online version of the skills identification and articulation workshop directly in the EDGE Learn Community.

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

The skills identification and articulation workshop lasts roughly 1.5 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.
