NRECA Competency-Based Education Programs

NRECA education programs are designed to address content and skills practice that are relevant and transferrable to the boardroom and workplace. NRECA’s competency models recognize the uniqueness of each role within each co-op. Co-op’s are encouraged to modify and adapt these models to reflect their own co-op culture, priorities and distinct learning needs.

Match Your Co-op’s Professional Development Needs with Learning Opportunities

  1. Review the competencies and identify those that are relevant to your co-op and/or your role.
  2. Determine which competency areas are a priority and/or reflect a learning opportunity.
  3. Identify learning opportunities that link to that competency. These can include courses, conferences and meetings, online learning, and certificate programs.
