Canadian
Council for Human Resources
in the Environment
CCHREI was established in 1993 as a
non-profit organization to assist the environment industry
in developing and implementing a national human resource
strategy. We understand that the environment industry faces
particular challenges in the human resources field. Created
to assist with those challenges, we at CCHREI believe that
our programs would interest your readers/members. CCHREI is
continuously developing new programs (a brief description of
each program is included below) to provide the environment
industry with effective HR solutions. CCHREI is currently
concentrating on the recruitment and retention issues facing
environment sectors, the certification of environmental
practitioners, and helping young Canadians enter the
environmental labour market.
Environmental Recruitment
Retention Learning Project (ERRL) CCHREI's latest
venture concentrates on resolving the recruitment and
retention issues that confront the environment industry.
ERRL offers companies the opportunity to increase their
current employees' productivity by identifying and closing
their potential skill gaps. Using CCHREI's national
occupational standards as a foundation, ERRL creates skill
profiles to determine specific areas where environmental
practitioners would benefit from professional development
and training opportunities. The program emphasizes the
mutually beneficial practice of employers and employees
working together to focus on life long learning and skills
development.
Canadian Environmental
Certification Approvals Board (CECAB)
Established by CCHREI, CECAB offers a national, voluntary
certification program for environmental practitioners. CECAB
certification provides formal recognition of an
environmental practitioner's skills, knowledge and
experience. In operation since August 2000, over 110
applicants are in the process of completing their on-line
certification process. Certification is based on a
practitioner's ability to do certain environmental work
activities, demonstrate experience, and have their level of
competence validated by peers. To further accommodate its
members, CECAB is also adding a list of conferences to its
web site. If you are aware of any upcoming conferences that
would be useful to members please inform us. In implementing
this program, CECAB is providing an essential tool to
develop the highly skilled workforce Canada needs to compete
in the global market. For more information please consult
CECAB's website at www.cecab.org or contact Patricia Miller
at registrar@cchrei.ca.
EnviroCareers
With the development of a new line of career information
products, CCHREI has turned its attention to educating young
Canadians about environmental career opportunities.
EnviroCareers is an interactive resource package designed as
a tool for youth interested in environmental employment and
will
be distributed to secondary schools,
libraries, and career centers nationwide later this spring.
With the creation of the EnviroCareers package, where
personality traits, interests and skills, and education are
all taken into account, users are given a realistic and
comprehensive overview of their career options. Consisting
of a CD-ROM, video, guidebooks for facilitators and youth,
and tabloid, the package is intended to be interactive,
interesting and, ultimately, informative for young people
assessing their career options.
EnviroJob Board
With almost 1 million hits a month, CCHREI's EnviroJob
Board has become the ideal recruiting tool for environmental
employers. The EnviroJob Board allows employers to post
their organization's job opportunities free of charge and
utilize CCHREI's employment resources at the HR Centre. They
will soon be able to review over 5000 candidates in our
Resume Bank with a unique job-matching tool. Job seekers
also benefit from the EnviroJob Board, by simply filling out
a one-page form they can submit their resumes online, review
company profiles, and have the latest career information at
their disposal in the Career Centre. The EnviroJob Board is
continuously improving to meet the growing needs of
employers and job seekers alike
Environmental Youth Corp.
(EYC)
The EYC is designed for assist recent post secondary
graduates with the difficult school to work transition. The
program consists of a wage subsidy incentive (ranging from
$8,000 to $12,000) given to Canadian environmental employers
for hiring young professionals. Organizations that
participate in the project benefit from having hundreds of
pre-screened, work ready, promising young professionals. In
operation since 1997, over 1,100 individuals have taken
advantage of the Environmental Youth Corp. and are helping
to substantially raise capacity in Canada's environmental
sector.
In the coming months, I will be
providing you with articles and information updating you on
the progress of our programs. If you would prefer not to
receive information please let me know and I will remove
your name from our mailing list. As I am also in the process
of updating our publication database, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could send me your publication's name,
type of publication (journal, newsletter, e-zine), how it is
distributed (i.e. mail, email), how often it is distributed
(annually, quarterly), and an alternate contact name and
email.
