Making Talent Visible Across Borders: A Conversation with Erica Hepburn, Educational Consultant
|As labour markets become global, workers and employers are no longer in the same places. How, then, should assessment and qualifications evolve to keep pace?
Occupational qualifications were designed to help people and employers find each other beyond local networks of trust. Today, that role is global, and the need is sharper than ever. In this webinar, we speak with Erica Hepburn, Educational Consultant, whose work in the health sector sits at the centre of cross-border workforce mobility. She will share how assessment enables international movement of health professionals, and what this means in practice for patients, employers, and regulators.
The discussion will focus on three key questions:
- What norms are emerging, and how do they work in practice?
- How can these systems operate at scale?
- What can different actors do to make them work better?
About the e-Assessment Association
The e-Assessment Association (eAA) is the global, independent community for professionals involved in digital assessment. As a not-for-profit organisation, we connect practitioners, technology providers, educators, awarding organisations and researchers around the world to share expertise, set standards and champion the trusted use of technology to transform assessment practice and policy. Our community offers valuable insights, events, resources and opportunities that support professional growth and innovation across all sectors of education and assessment.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Networks are at the heart of our collaborative activity. SIGs bring together members with shared interests in specific areas of digital assessment to exchange ideas, share best practice and advance their collective expertise. Through focused discussions, webinars, working groups and content contributions, SIGs help shape the agenda in areas such as AI in assessment, accessibility, online proctoring, workforce mobility and more.
Our Networks provide facilitated communities for specific audiences. For example, the Awarding Organisation (AO) Network supports assessment organisations to collaborate, share experience and develop practice in technology-enabled assessment delivery.
