See our Prior Learning Assessment Centre PLA Process Guide and General Information on the PLA Home Page, which explains the full PLA Program.

We can provide an optional 20-minute PowerPoint presentation to your employees to help them understand how to take advantage of PLA.

Reduced group rates may be provided if the corporation is sponsoring the employees and if there are 5 or more participants. The process would work similarly but be accelerated and customized to meet your company’s needs. We offer flexible scheduling and because of a regular intake every three months, there are no deadlines to apply.

To proceed, speak with a Willis representative who can answer all of your questions and set up a specific proposal for your firm. Email or call one of our campuses: Ottawa: (613)233-1128.

How Does PLA Help the Employer?

As an employer supporting PLA, you receive more highly qualified employees that are more motivated and effective in their positions with your firm. This results in more productivity and a very positive ROI for firms, especially if a group of employees are processed together obtaining a group rate.

The organization gains more qualified and trained employees with a more rounded education. More skilled employees can provide a competitive advantage especially in areas where technology changes very rapidly. As well, employees have a more diversified skill set and can be more flexible and grow with the company.

As well, corporations who must meet RFP or contract obligations for worker requirements will have more choices and more highly skilled employees to work with rather than bring in more costly contractors.

Further, as a service provided by your HR department, your employees will appreciate your initiative to help them achieve higher qualifications.
