New Validated EV Battery Supply Chain Sector Competency Profiles
ECO Canada is the steward of Canada’s environmental workforce. We support environmental workers and their employers through wage funding, certification, post-secondary program accreditation, HR services, training and research.
We are documenting the knowledge, skills and competencies needed for Canada to expand its environmental workforce. The competency profiles that we develop provide detailed information about the standards that workers need to meet to succeed in their roles.
The profiles will help guide employers, workers, and educators in designing professional development goals and standards for performance evaluation.
Thank you for helping us validate these profiles! We have a few more we still need your help with; click below to view the unvalidated profiles.
