Request for Proposals – HEQCO Skills Consortium

The purpose of this RFP is to select education and training providers to join a newly established HEQCO Skills Consortium. The Skills Consortium will evaluate programs or interventions relating to the acquisition, development and/or articulation of transferable skills. Specifically, we seek partners that are prepared to:

1) Build upon HEQCO‘s skills research by using an assessment tool that is proven to be valid and reliable, and/or another established methodology, to measure change over time in either (1) student skills or (2) students‘ ability to articulate skills as a result of an innovative educational program or targeted intervention.
2) Commit to sharing best practices with other members of the consortium through bi-annual meetings and an annual deliverable; and
3) Participate actively in various knowledge mobilization strategies, such as presenting at conferences, participating in webinars or writing blog posts, to share their approaches and learnings with other members of the consortium as well as the broader postsecondary community.
Programs and interventions are not required to be new, and assessment tools / methods are not limited to those that HEQCO has used in previous projects
