HOW CAN WE FIND OTHER INITIATIVES SUPPORTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION?

Over the years, a considerable number of initiatives and tools have been developed by various organizations to promote best practices in the implementation of the convention.

In the pan-Canadian context, WSE has undertaken a number of important initiatives through its Building Bridges project, including ones that support consistency and portability of credential assessments.
