Vocational Learning Outcomes

What is a Vocational Learning Outcome?

Vocational Learning Outcomes (VLOs) are one of the elements of program standards and are also referred to as "program goals" for programs that do not have published provincial standards. The VLOs set out the culminating demonstration of learning and achievement that the student must reliably demonstrate before graduation. Learning outcomes are interrelated and when viewed as a whole, they identify what students will be able to do at the completion of a program.

VLOs:

• Are statements that explicitly outline performance expectations and identify what the learner is expected to know and do by time they graduate
• Describe performances that require one to integrate and apply one’s learning
• Do not describe the inputs to learning or the processes of learning
