  • Public health employee competency profiles have been developed with reference to the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada, Release 1.0 to clarify the varying levels and mixtures of competencies that different public health professionals are expected to have for their different roles. To view these competency profiles, see:  Managers/Supervisors
  • A Competency-Based Employee Performance Management  e-Learning Module and Toolkit have been developed to help chart national core competencies in relation to public health roles and responsibilites and can be used as a helpful performance planning or management resource.
