Why CAP Training? A Top Ten List:
(from the Home Office in London, Ontario)
10. CAP provides a consistent, employment planning and interview format that spans
community partners, resulting in a more coordinated, professional approach to the
employment planning process.
9. Overall, CAP seeks to improve client service and avoid duplication of work; ensuring
clients participate in one, agreed-upon planning process, no matter where they
sought assistance within the community.
8. A key component of training is instruction in the range of employment services
offered by agencies across the community, which builds trust along with partnerships
and increased cooperation between agencies.
7. Since 1996, more than 500 employment professionals have been trained in the
Common Assessment Process, representing employment and training agencies, First
Nations communities, educational institutions, health care providers, provincial and
municipal social service deliverers, and Action Centres (serving laid-off employees in
the manufacturing sector).
6. Common Assessment Process is flexible, adaptable and is tailored to the special
needs of your individual community and accommodates diverse groups, identifying
all client needs including those pertaining to immigration and settlement.
5. By standardizing as much of the assessment and information gathering process as
much as possible across the network of agencies, in addition to using standardized
return-to-work action plans, clients only have to provide their vital information once,
regardless of the number of agencies they visit.
4. Training of career development staff in the Common Assessment Process is
provided by certified ESCLM trainers, who are current CAP practitioners.
3. Staff trained in CAP are connected to their colleagues across the region through
shared and common process and language, consistency and ease of referral, reduced
duplication in paperwork, and facilitated case management.
2. Proven, effective, informative program offered on a cost-recovery basis.
And, the Number One reason for your Organization to invest in Common Assessment
