That is extremely interesting.
A concrete example could be, for instance, a veteran who has developed skills in mechanics. However, the fact that they have skills in mechanics doesn't mean that they can be, for example, a mechanical engineering technologist. They need to round out their skills and get a degree as well, because that's recognized in the world of employment.
However, it's extremely interesting to start right from the beginning and to see a path in advance, to see what might be possible for a veteran, for someone who is in a reserve unit or the army, or for their family. There are various ways to recognize prior learning. There are paths that are already set up, from a job in the armed forces to a second career. Other times, it requires a more personalized approach. We're talking about a veteran who has not only acquired mechanical skills, but also acquired other types of skills in the course of the tasks they had to perform.
We were talking earlier about very useful skills such as leadership, teamwork and so on. That has value. At La Cité, our entire educational structure is based on skills. In a given course curriculum, we have linked skills and can say exactly, based on a person's skill set, what course they have left to take or what learning unit they have left to complete. Learning units are smaller components than courses. That leads to different streams.
