This is the curriculum for the last in a series of four workshops on Essential Skills (ES) and Recognizing Prior Learning (RPL) for Aboriginal communities, developed through a program called Igniting the Power Within (ITPW).

Workshop participants learn about the hidden job market and the benefits of networking; tailoring an application to a specific job; preparing a portfolio for a job interview; and developing an ES profile specific to a job description.

The authors have included a detailed workshop agenda; tips for facilitators; a discussion of best practices; and sample forms and handouts.
