Project Information

In the first phase of this project, the Council created 15 national occupational standards for the supply chain sector, with help from CSA Standards and through significant consultation with stakeholders. In this second phase of the project, the Council wrote occupational standards for those of the 26 NOC codes that identify occupations within the sector that had not yet been profiled.

CSA Standards worked again with the Council in phase II of the project. Utilizing the best-practices approach developed in phase I, the Council once more fast tracked the writing and validating of occupational standards.
