Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB)

  

Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB)
Chosen as one of Best Employers for New Canadians for 2011:
By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors  ( Mar 27, 2011)

Some of the reasons why Energy Resources Conservation Board was selected as one of Best Employers for New Canadians 2011:
  • offers subsidies for ESL classes at post-secondary institutions and sponsors membership efforts of internationally trained professionals to regulatory bodies such as the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists, and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA)
  • partners with post-secondary institutions such as CDI College and most recently, Bow Valley College, to provide newcomers with work placement opportunities
  • the program includes two months of classroom training followed by a six-week position at ERCB -- an offer of permanent employment follows if the term is completed successfully
  • provides employees with access to an onsite quiet room to accommodate religious and spiritual needs
"As a new immigrant to Canada, I was very pleased to join the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect. I have benefited from the ERCB's orientation program, professional development program and the flexible vacation options ... The ERCB's professional development program supports me with continuing professional development through external and internal trainings, courses, and site visits. I have been offered the professional software training, the English communication course and oil sands mine site visits. My career growth has benefited from these training and course programs. The ERCB is really a wonderful place to work. I am proud of myself for working in the ERCB."

"As an immigrant, I started my career with the ERCB as a coal geologist in 2008. I get a lot of benefits from the ERCB. People working here are very professional, friendly, and helpful. The ERCB provides an orientation for the new employees. The orientation helped me understand the structure of the ERCB organization, the culture, and workplace policy. From that orientation, I participated in the mentor program. By the guiding of the mentors, I learned and extended basic knowledge including oil sands, economics evaluation, functions of ArcMap mapping, and shale gas from several professionals. The ERCB offers different courses, internal luncheon talks and seminars for technical purposes. The ERCB also gives employee opportunities to join various professional associations and attend professional conferences and meetings. I strongly believe the ERCB is a great place to work and would like to continue develop my career with the ERCB."
