Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) @ SuccessR:
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a platform designed to acknowledge informal learning or learning gained through work, giving it equal value to formal education. RPL aims to appreciate prior learning, regardless of how it was achieved. In essence, RPL is a process that assesses an individual's prior learning, emphasizing the importance of outcomes over the learning process itself. To ensure that candidates assessed under RPL are aligned with the standardized NSQF levels, the QP-NOSs used will be the same as those followed in fresh training. RPL places special focus on recognizing prior competencies and provides certification and monetary rewards upon successful assessment.
Corporate entities vary based on their business nature and history, but one common factor that sets professional entities apart is "Nurturing and Realizing the Potential of Internal Talent."
Global research confirms that focusing on internal talent is a universal attribute of progressive organizations, maintained consistently throughout their life cycle and at all levels. There is a significant opportunity to harness the potential of frontline employees by turning them into a ready bench of customized talent to ensure quick backfill. The major hurdle, however, is the absence of qualification standards or skill certification in frontline roles.
SuccessR, in partnership with various Sector Skill Councils, the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), and under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India, is proud to offer a certification program titled "Recognition of Prior Learning." This program is tailored for organizations and individual employees who possess the necessary job skills and knowledge but lack certification to fully realize their potential.
