Credentials employers ask for
Environmental Professional designation
From ECO Canada (the Environmental Careers Organization). Widely asked for in consulting job ads.
Provincial biologist registration
Required for applied work in British Columbia, and a professional biologist title in Alberta lets you sign off on reports.
Species-at-risk survey permits
Bat, bird and turtle survey training. Few people hold them, so they get called first.
GIS (geographic information systems) certificate
Mapping skills turn a field job into a year-round job.
