Core Competencies

In 2010 the DS HR Strategy published a report and dictionary reflecting extensive work completed to recognize the Core Competencies required of superior performers in Ontario’s Developmental Services Sector.  Since that time the Core Competencies have been implemented by DS Agencies across the province, and by Colleges offering the DSW program.  The Core Competencies are the cornerstone of the work completed by the DS HR Strategy and serve as the foundation for the future work to achieve our goals.  Agencies interested in implementing Core Competencies should contact the Chair of the Core Competencies Implementation Committee, Sandra McNamara at smcnamara@communitylivingnorthgrenville.ca

Visit the Agency Login webpage for reports, including the Core Competencies dictionary.
