Description - APL: Equal Opportunities for All? by Cecilia McKelvey
This book explores practical ways of implementing Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) for the benefit of individuals, employers and the community as a whole. It shows how APL can make a real contribution to equality of opportunity. Chapters consider the particular needs of various sectors of the community, and how APL can be used to meet those needs. For ethnic communities, those whose first language is not English, and those who arrive in Britain with qualifications from overseas, the APL process can be a vital stage in the search for education, employment and equality of experience. For people with disabilities APL can break through barriers and offer new breadth of opportunity. For women, often disadvantaged in the workplace, it can lead to recognition and improved career progression. Through the use of case studies and practical examples the authors offer detailed guidance on methods of implementation, staff development and continuing support to help tutors, managers and senior staff make effective use of APL systems.
