Core Competencies

Platform for Prosperity in the new Accredited Economic Development Organization Program  designed to support capacity enhancement. It provides linkages to tools and best practices to achieve competencies in four key areas:

Level I – Technical Level: defined by criteria focused on solid foundational elements;

Level II – Performance Level: defines strategies that give the organization direction;

Level III – Achievement Level:  focuses on the achievements of the organization to date;

Level IV – Peer Review Level: the site team visit is designed to assess the organization in action.

Managed by the Saskatchewan Economic Development Association (SEDA), communities and organizations may apply and receive accreditation at each of four levels.

The online resources and tools provided by Grow Our Region support the competencies at each level.

There is no cost to participate in this program, however communities and organizations must be SEDA members to receive accreditation. Level IV - Peer Review – does require communties and organizations to assist with travel costs associated with the site visit. This will be determined on a case by case basis.
