Apple Competency Profiling Session - Halifax, NSThe Canadian Agricultural HR Council is currently developing a number of tools for apple producers. We have consulted with farm producers from across Canada and have developed National Occupation Standards for apple production.
We understand how busy you are at this time of the year but we are hoping that you can find the time to participate. We are presently setting up a final working session during which the critical competencies for success for key roles will be identified. It is the final meeting in the development process – competency profiling.
We would like to invite you to participate in the competency profiling session for Apple to be held on Thursday, June 23rd, 2016 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The meeting is scheduled for 8:00 AM to 4:30PM (continental breakfast and lunch will be served).
To assist with your participation, the Canadian Agricultural HR Council will cover your travel expenses to attend the session (travel expenses and one night hotel). As per the Government of Canada Treasury Board Guidelines, the Council will reimburse each participant their roundtrip mileage (see attached Travel expense claim). Once you confirm your participation, we will send you the name of the travel agency you will be using to book a flight. CAHRC will ensure your booking at the hotel.
Please confirm your participation by Thursday, April 28th, 2016.
Please find below additional information about the competency profiling session.
COMPETENCY PROFILING SESSION:This 1-day workshop will bring 10-15 people together who work in Apple production to develop a competency profile for each of the following roles: Entry Level Farm Worker, Experienced Farm Worker, Farm Supervisor, Farm Manager (outlined below). Competency profiles complement National Occupational Standards. While Occupational Standards describe what the worker needs to be able to do, the competency profile identifies the underlying knowledge, skills and abilities to do so. During the session, you will choose the competencies that are most critical for successful performance for incumbents in those roles.
A human resource management professional will lead the group and make the process very easy and stress-free for participants. Materials to review prior to the session will be sent a few days prior.
We take the opportunity to thank those of you who provided insights during the focus groups and hope you will join us for this final working session. Contact Us Hours: 9am - 4pm weekdays. t: 250-762-5226 |
