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 to design professional development goals and standards for performance evaluation.
MINING
Mining competency profiles include activities related to the management, improvement and exploration of the earth’s surface, including forests, parks, agriculture and public land, as well as underground and underwater areas. These activities oversee projects involving the design of mechanical products and systems, treatment and pollution prevention, preservation of the environment and generation of resources for consumer products (e.g. power and water).
