I would say the Association of Canadian Community Colleges is very much a supporter of prior learning assessment. Because of jurisdictional challenges, it's very much up to the institution as to how much funding they want to put into it.
Like any innovative strategy, this requires marketing. If we build it, will they come? Yes, if they know about it, and if we can have someone within the college system to advocate on behalf of adult learners, because people who don't have credentials don't necessarily see themselves as being college material. Adults need to have an advocate within the college system. That is available in some colleges, but not in others.
