National Occupational Standards Now Available
BioTalent Canada has launched its first 45 National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Canada’s bio-economy. These standards were validated by industry stakeholders and will replace BioTalent Canada’s Skills Profiles and Skills At-A-Glances. The NOS profiles indicate what skills, education, and credentialing are required to perform a specific role. Companies will use these standards for more effective recruitment, professional development, succession planning, and compensation benchmarking.
How to Use Bio-economy National Occupational Standards (NOS) to support your growth
Whether you’re looking to grow your business or launch your career, BioTalent Canada’s NOS profiles can help.
Each profile was designed in close consultation with industry leaders – who then validated the core competencies and associated tasks for each occupation.
Each NOS includes:
- An overview of critical roles
- An occupational overview
- Educational, training, and credentialing requirements
- Core industry, technical, regulatory, professional, and work process competencies
Meeting talent needs
The NOS align well with the talent recommendations outlined in BioTalent Canada’s National Labour Market Information report, released in late 2021. Used effectively, the NOS will play a vital role in Canada’s bio-economy meeting talent needs by the end of the decade.
