4. Evidence File Development Handbook (2012)
Authors: Taber & District Community Adult Learning Association
This handbook was developed for use by Community Adult Learning Centres (CALCs) in Alberta, though the authors note that it can be used in other literacy settings.
An evidence file is similar to a learning or career portfolio. While a portfolio typically includes an autobiographical essay, learning statements, and documented evidence of prior learning, an evidence file contains only documented evidence of prior learning related to a specific goal. That evidence might include a goal statement or cover letter, resumé, letters of reference or verification, sample work documents, skills checklists, certificates, and performance assessments.
The handbook includes sections on how evidence files can help individuals; what to include in the file; different types of evidence of learning; the stages in developing an evidence file; and next steps to take after preparing the file.
The handbook grew out of a project linked to the Alberta government’s goal of increasing learners’ access to Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR), the recognition of the knowledge and skills an individual has acquired through non-formal and informal learning.

9. Jobseeker's Journey to Employment in Niagara (2009)
Authors: Niagara West Employment & Learning Resource Centres, Niagara Employment Resources Network
The authors of this document, a guide to seeking a job in a changing economy, begin by providing information on Essential Skills; defining skills; and explaining how skills can be transferred from one situation to another.
The heart of the document consists of eight profiles of jobseekers from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. Two are Aboriginal persons; one is a woman returning to the workforce after 12 years as a stay-at-home mother; another is a newcomer to Canada. Other profiles feature people who are either under- or over-qualified for jobs; are dissatisfied with their current situations; or have been laid off from a long-time position.
Readers can think about the points raised in each profile, then continue on to a section of the document where they can write their own stories and work out their own plans for finding a job.
