The Ontario Skills Passport (OSP) is a resource that provides clear descriptions of the skills used in virtually all occupations, as well as important work habits. It also provides employers with a consistent method of assessing and recording the demonstration of these skills and work habits in the workplace. The skills listed in the OSP are transferable skills that all learners (including high school students and adult learners), job seekers and workers can take from job to job, sector to sector and school to work.

In the Resources section of the OSP website you can access OSP-related information, including a tutorial, a brochure and teacher/practitioner-developed resources to support the use of the OSP in a variety of educational and training contexts.
