PROGRAM STANDARDS AND LEARNING OUTCOMESProgram standards apply to all similar programs of instruction offered by colleges across the province. Each program standard for a postsecondary program of instruction includes the following elements:

• Vocational standard (the vocationally specific learning outcomes which apply to the program in question),

• Essential employability skills (the essential employability skills learning outcomes which apply to all programs of instruction), and

• General education requirement (the requirement for general education in postsecondary programs of instruction).

The vocational and essential employability skills3 components of program standards are expressed in terms of learning outcomes. Learning outcomes represent culminating demonstrations of learning and achievement. In addition, learning outcomes are interrelated and cannot be viewed in isolation of one another. As such, they should be viewed as a comprehensive whole. They describe performances that demonstrate that significant integrated learning by graduates of the program has been achieved and verified.
