1. WMO World Meteorological OrganizationWorking together in weather, climate and water The WMO Education and Training Programme www.wmo.int

2. Overview Aspiration Expected Results etc Standards Enhancing Technical Training Enhancing ETR for Members EC Panel Enhancing Management Training Capacity Development ETR Office

3. What is the ETRP doing? • Setting education and training Standards • Pro-actively assisting the TCs in development of job competencies • Working with training institutes to provide more training opportunities and resources • Encouraging the use of Distance Learning • Increasing HR development activities

4. ETRP in 2016 Fellowships • More with alternative funding • Training • Standards implemented • Additionaltraining partners • Other WMO programmes utilising RTC facilitiesand supportingdevelopment of new resources • E-learning a normal part of training delivery

5. WMO ETRP contributes to Expected Result 6 Enhanced capabilities of NMHSs, in particular in developing and least developed countries, to fulfill their mandates Strategic Thrust 3 Strengthening Capacity Building Protection of life and property Sustainable use of natural resources and environment Economic well being

6. ETRP expected to support 2012 – 2015 WMO priorities

7. WMO ETRP activity areas Enhancing capabilities of NMHS managers KO 6.2 & 6.3 Setting Standards and guidelines for initial ETR KO 6.2 & 6.3 Enhanced capabilities of NMHSs to fulfill their mandates Enhancing technical capabilities KO 6.2 & 6.3 Enhancing capabilities in education and training KO 6.2 & 6.3

8. ETRP facts

10. Setting Standards

11. Bodies reponsible for setting initial and ongoing ETR requirements?

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 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

14. Enhancing ETR capabilities Oversee and support the RTCs Advertise and support Members to attend RTC activities Providing train-the-trainer workshops and advice Provision of publications and guidelines Support for Members to attend ETR related events (face-to-face and online) Advocating for provision of resources and sharing of resources Links to “Roles and Operations of NMHSs” Some RTCs very active, others dead-loss. Need to revisit RTCs? Trainer competencies will be useful NWS/COMET very good partners

15. 2012 to 2016 Training

16. Enhancing Technical Capabilities

17. Enhancing Technical Capabilities 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 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. Enhancing Management Capabilities 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 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 Standards in 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

25. Opportunities and Challenges for the ETRP / Panel • Reform proposals for the EC WG on Capacity Development and how this could support / impact upon the work of the Panel • Member interest in the Panel • Making the most of available resources (staff and funds)
