Abstract
WatershedsBC works to strengthen BC’s watershed security by equipping & supporting local people and decision-makers with the knowledge, training, and networks needed to restore and secure watersheds. WatershedsBC is guided by a vision of watershed security and healthy waters, achieved through new approaches to watershed management and governance grounded in community values and local and Indigenous knowledge.
The project, Developing a Watershed Workforce in British Columbia: Identifying Effective Programs and Micro-Credentials included two primary components, 1. Identifying microcredentials and 2. Conducting interviews with stakeholders. This research seeks to reorient attention on the workforce requirement in working for watersheds and the economic significance of working for watersheds. It highlights the potential of watersheds to grow as an employer and contribute to the larger economy of the province.
