Building Environmental Aboriginal Human Resources (BEAHR) Training Programs Guide [ECO Canada]

In an effort to increase awareness about environmental careers and build environmental capacity within Aboriginal communities, ECO Canada’s training division maintains and administers community-based environmental training programs inclusive of Aboriginal culture and knowledge. Programs are delivered by 3rd party licensed trainers from both public and private organizations; they are designed to provide introductory skills to those who want to work in the environmental field. Programs are offered in 2 separate streams, Workforce training and Technician training. Both are designed to provide graduates with the essential skills required to work at the assistant level in a career related to the environmental sector. In addition, the Technician Training Programs are a combination of various Workforce training modules and graduates from this stream may be eligible to transfer to a college level diploma program. All program graduates receive a certificate of successful completion, please note that the programs are not accredited.
