The Multi-stakeholder Work Group project is a collaborative approach to developing practical and sustainable solutions. The project was initiated by a member of ISANS staff because they recognized that providing employment services is not enough to ensure workforce integration for clients in regulated occupations. Fair and transparent pathways to licensure, and new pathways and competency assessment methods were needed. Unnecessary barriers had to be removed, and programs and ISANS supports were needed to provide orientation, address skill or knowledge gaps, and promote effective workforce integration.
