Subject Matter of the Lobbying Activity
Specific Topics of Lobbying Communications Intended Outcomes Associated Subject Matters
BCSLA submitted the BCSLA Pathway to Accessible Licensure Project application for the Credentials Assessment Improvement Project. In BC there is a strong demand for registered landscape architects and interns that parallels the busy development, green technology industries and the demand for increased greenspace in the era of physical distancing. Most firms are experiencing challenges filling vacancies for qualified design professionals with varying degrees of experience and expertise. The aging demographic of baby boomers has resulted in senior practitioners stepping back or retiring from practice completely. Internationally Trained Workers (ITW) and other applicants could satisfy the demand. BCSLA has successfully worked on Foreign Credentials initiatives for a number of years. This project would greatly assist the BCSLA in updating the Admission Program for Internationally Trained Workers. We would also provide online portals for volunteers who lead busy professional and personal lives and save them time and travel Footnote1
