How are they connected? How are they relevant to your workplace and clients?There are many areas of similarity and overlap among those who work in the helping professions, especially those associated with assisting clients/candidates to accomplish their personal and professional goals. This three hour workshop is intended to clarify and support learning recognition activities in a variety of different disciplines to assist job seekers and adult learners.This hands-on session seeks to de-mystify the recognition of prior learning, helping to make it concrete for participants by taking a broad view of RPL, from a developmental portfolio perspective to high-stakes competency-based assessment. Through a series of exercises, participants will experience components of RPL and increase their understanding of the continuum of RPL practice. Participants will recognize how specific RPL methods align with the work they already do, to help clarify individual client needs and to facilitate the achievement of educational and employment goals.Although particularly relevant to those in the career development field, this workshop will be of value to anyone who works with adult learners or is a learner themselves.Learning OutcomesParticipants will:	have a greater understanding of the relationship among a range of RPL approaches in terms of a continuum	recognize commonalities and differences across the continuum, and how different approaches align with varying client needs and goals	have an increased awareness of the role of the career practitioner in RPL with both clients and employers About the speaker Teresa Francis, Director of Learning and Professional Practice, Nova Scotia Career Development Association (NSCDA)
