10. Setting Standards

11. Bodies reponsible for setting initial and ongoing ETR requirements? EC-Panel Initial qualifications Coordination on ETR matters across the TCs CBS TCs responsible for developing specialist qualifications andcompetencies in their domains of expertise (EC-62) All programmes under WWW plus some of Applications of Meteorology CAeM Aeronautical Meteorology CHy Hydrology and water resources CCL Climate CAS Global Atmospheric Watch, GCOS CIMO Observations CAgM Agricultural meteorology JCOMM Marine and oceanography

12. Setting Standards EC-Panel set the Standards for the initial training of Meteorologists and Meteorological Technical Officers Use the COCOM to brainstorm / test ideas EC-Panel set the Standards for the initial training of Meteorologists and Meteorological Technical Officers Use the COCOM to brainstorm / test ideas TC’s set the Guidelines / Standards for the subject domains under their authority. Examples: aeronautical meteorology, climate, marine meteorology EC-Panel to assist the TC’s Getting some buy-in from the TCs but for many of them qualifications and competencies low priority

13. Enhancing Member ETR capabilities

16. Enhancing Technical Capabilities

17. Negotiate with RTCs and potential donors Work with partners such as EUMETCAL and COMET Negotiate with RTCs and potential donors Work with partners such as EUMETCAL and COMET Provide advice to WMO Technical Departments Cross-coordination with Technical Departments Work with TCs on development and implementation of competencies Provide funding to Technical Departments Fellowship Programme fits in here Provide advice to WMO Technical Departments Cross-coordination with Technical Departments Work with TCs on development and implementation of competencies Provide funding to Technical Departments Fellowship Programme fits in here Advocating for provision of resources and sharing of resources Starting to get results from negotiations with RTCs (Turkey, China) and cross coordination with Departments. Still siloed though

18. Enhancing Management Capabilities

19. Working with the LDCR and Regional Programme to deliver workshops that support strategic planning ….. Linking to the “Roles and Operations of NMHSs” and anticipating Panel looking at a Capability Framework at next session. Coordinating with UK, Spain and France on their management courses PR Familiarisation visits come under this Coordinating with UK, Spain and France on their management courses PR Familiarisation visits come under this Capability framework will give this much more focus. Links with LDCR and Regional Programmes tentative but firming

20. EC Panel of Experts on ETR

21. Congress Decisions Revised definition of Meteorologist and Meteorological Technician Agreed on new BIP-M and BIP-MT Standards Agreed on new guidelines to support the implementation of the Standards Continued the EC Panel of Experts on Education and Training

22. Implications for ETRP of Congress decisions Severed the link between jobs and classifications. Now up to each Member who does what tasks WMO 258 is being phased out by 1 Dec 2013. ETR Standardsin Section B4 of WMO Technical Regulations Vol 1, publication 49

23. Expectations of ETRP due to Congress decisions Expected to support the implementation of the GFCS through education and training in climate services Expected to increase provision of management training Expected to assist implementation of WIS / WIGOS through training in meta-data, network management, quality control, QMS ….

24. EC Panel possible topics March 2012 – New Zealand /Geneva / New Delhi? –Climate services - Human Resource Development –Use of ISO standard for accrediting non university training institutions –Trainer competencies document –Symposium in 2013 –HRD capability framework –RTC reviews –Task Team on Distance Learning –WMO Cloud Atlas and Global Satellite Manual –Clarifying the WMO ETR cycle and who is responsible for which components and how to bring it all together
