Our response to COVID19

The QA Commons is mindful of the dramatic and transformational impact COVID-19 is having on all institutions of higher education. As an organization, we are adapting our services to support preparing graduates for the workplace that is now changing more precipitously than ever.

Standards of Care

The standards provide an evidence-based and consistent framework for delivering employability skills in education and training programs.
