About WOW-Skills.com™

WOW-Skills.com is the first comprehensive and fully interactive website in Canada to enable users to individually evaluate, develop and market their employability skills in today's world of work. The result of a pilot project agreement between WCG International and the Conference Board of Canada, the website is a natural extension of the Employability Skills Toolkit created by the Conference Board of Canada in the year 2000.

WOW-Skills.com was developed to be more than just a content delivery website. We knew that in order for it to be successful as an assessment tool, soft-skills development tool and self-marketing tool, we needed to educate users and engage them in the process. In fact, our goal was to create an interactive website at the highest level by actively encouraging beneficial relationships between users.

With that goal constantly in mind, our website has been built to emphasize and support the mutually beneficial relationship between those who wish to improve their employability skills and those who are in a position - either through experience or expertise - to help these learners achieve their goals. So not only are both Active (learners) and Support (supporters or mentors) users given full consideration for their individual needs within their own completely separate areas of the site, we've offered tips and strategies on how to effectively work together.
