New learning program provides specialized sustainability and ESG skills development for Canadian energy industry workers

A new skills development program is underway to help Canadian energy industry employees integrate sustainability and best practices related to Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) into the daily workplace.

The Sustainability in Energy Micro-Credential is a highly flexible, interactive, professional development program delivered by geoLOGIC systems ltd. in partnership with Careers in Energy, a division of Energy Safety Canada (ESC).

The program started in April and is free of charge to participants and funded by the Government of Canada’s Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program. Delivery is online and via webinars over a 12-month period. The total time commitment is expected to be 45-50 hours.

The program is designed to complement existing energy industry qualifications. A series of 12 modules examine greenhouse gas emissions measurement and reduction, the role of new technologies, ESG reporting standards, water and land management, and best practices related to corporate governance and Indigenous engagement.

The micro-credential is ideal for:

• Early to mid-career energy professionals

• Engineers, geoscientists, and other technical roles

• Operations and maintenance specialists

• Corporate services employees

• Business developers and salespeople

“The curriculum includes industry-specific case studies designed to help integrate sustainability and ESG into the daily workplace,” says Bemal Mehta, Managing Director, Energy Intelligence, at geoLOGIC. “The interactive online approach creates a high flexible learning environment suitable for a wide range of energy professionals.”
