WHO ARE WE?

PROGRESS REPORT

PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATIONWHO ARE WE?

• BACKGROUND

• THE CIRCUIT RIDER TRAINER PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION (CRTPA), HAS UNDERTAKEN THE

TASK TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF A PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATION, WHICH WOULD DISTINGUISH ASSOCIATION MEMBERS AS A DISTINCT GROUP. THIS DESIGNATION WOULD RECOGNIZED MEMBERS FOR THE WORK THEY DO AS PROFESSIONAL TRAINERS AND MENTORS TO FIRST NATION ADULT LEARNERS IN THE SPECIALIZED FIELDS OF WATER RESOURCE, WATER RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY AND BUILDING SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY.


• FEASIBILITY?

• THE FEASIBILITY OF PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATION MUST BE GIVEN DUE CONSIDERATION AND EVALUATED AGAINST THE EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, AND COMPETENCY OF THE CRTPA MEMBERSHIP AT LARGE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOUND IN A POSSIBLE DESIGNATION OPTION INCLUDING THOSE ORGANIZATIONS MENTIONED FOR CONSIDERATION DURING THE CRTPA WHITEHORSE AGM 2015.

• PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATION OPTIONS:

1. ENVIRONMENTAL PROFESSIONAL (EP) IN “EDUCATION AND TRAINING” BY ENVIRONMENTAL CAREERS ORGANIZATION (ECO) OF CANADA, AND POSSIBLE BUILDING OPERATOR DESIGNATION BY ECO CANADA (2011 LABOUR MARKET RESEARCH STUDY!),

2. PROFESSIONAL OPERATOR (PO) BY ASSOCIATION OF BOARDS OF CERTIFICATION (ABC),

3. SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN (SMT® ) BY BUILDING OWNERS AND MANAGERS INSTITUTE (BOMI) CANADA,

4. THE BUILDING OFFICIALS' ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (BOABC) , OR SIMILAR


• MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION?

• IS WAS DETERMINED BY THE CRTPA BOARD THAT MORE INFORMATION WAS NEEDED ABOUT THE MEMBERSHIP AT LARGE THUS A SURVEY WAS DEVELOPED TO COLLECT DATA REGARDING THE EXPERIENTIAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF OUR MEMBERS. THE INTENT IS TO HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO ENABLE THE CRTPA TO FORM A REASONABLY ACCURATE PROFILE OF THE AVERAGE MEMBER. THE PROFILE WOULD THEN HELP DETERMINE WHAT OPTION FOR PROFESSION DESIGNATION IS ACHIEVABLE WHEN THE MEMBER DATA IS COMPARED AGAINST THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD PROVIDE THE DESIGNATION UNDER CONSIDERED.

• LIKE THOSE MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE!


• AGM 2015 WHITEHORSE DATA WAS COLLECTED!

• A WORKING SUBCOMMITTEE WAS FORMED, COMPRISED OF ASSOCIATION MEMBERS TO

BEGIN THE TASK OF DISSEMINATING THE SURVEY DATA COLLECTED FROM THE MEMBERSHIP DURING ONLINE REGISTRATION OF THE WHITEHORSE AGM IN 2015. THE SURVEY DATA GATHERED FROM 67 RESPONDENTS WAS BROKEN INTO SPECIFIC AREAS SUCH AS WORK EXPERIENCE, TRAINER EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION, CERTIFICATION LEVELS (W&WW), AGE AND TRADE BACKGROUND. THIS WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND SOME OBSERVATIONS WILL BE PROVIDED HERE TODAY.

What does this say about recruitment and positions held by those retiring in the near future?

Demand for trained, experienced and qualified CRTP trainers will increase!

Young and ambitions individuals just starting their career will find plenty of opportunities. Will you be ready? “Profession Designation” can distinguish you from the rest and put you on a fast track to advancements in your work!

• CRITERIA of a “Profession-wide designation” external to the Circuit Rider Trainer Professional Association is preferred with an expected level of recognition to be gained by our members.

• The CRTPA has concerns of inclusiveness and individual capacity of current members to meet the challenges of the process for designation considering what may be expected of an applicant for a specific professional designation in the two areas of Water/Wastewater and Building Maintenance.

• This a long term project which will involve continued information gathering and further consultation with Association members and stakeholders before advancing with this process of professional designation. No timeline has been established for professional designation.

• Here are some key criteria that an individual may generally need to meet according to a number of organizations:

• Work experience - You must have at least five years of specific work experience (W&WW or BM Trainer) in Canada.

• Education - You hold a recognized Canadian college diploma or university degree, or equivalent international credentials

• Competencies - Professionals must meet a minimum standard of environmental or technical skills and knowledge according to National Occupational Standards (NOS).

• Code of Ethics - All certified members must abide by the Code of Ethics. This includes several rules of professional conduct, including ensuring the safety and welfare of all persons and responsibility for environmental stewardship.

• Applications must be accompanied by with documentation of all of your qualification. Documentation might include high school diploma, certificates of continuing education and letters of past and present supervisors. This information will be verified!

• Examination - Applicants may be required to apply and write an examine once eligibility has been confirmed and fees paid.
