Help Shape the Latest Environmental Research

We need your help to build the world’s leading environmental workforce right here in Canada.

We are currently researching Canada’s electric vehicle (EV) battery supply chain with the goal of analyzing the labour needs of relevant sectors, identifying competency requirements for workers, and guiding curriculum development for new training programs.

As part of this project, we are developing an occupational map of the sector alongside competency profiles for various roles that will be used to support workforce planning, guide policy and program development, and help with skills, qualifications, and training requirements to be a part of Canada’s growing EV sector. These resources will be published on ECO Canada’s website in early 2024 and be available for free.

We are looking for experts currently working, supervising, or recently employed to validate and provide feedback for the following roles.

After going through the profiles listed below, please select the profile you want to review.

Each validator will receive a $100 Visa Gift Card and be created in the final profile!

Unvalidated Competency Profiles for Review

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).
