Communities of Practice
Communities of Practice (COPs) facilitate practical, peer-based learning across regulatory, technical, and operational topics.
These are online sessions where you can trade ideas, hear from guest speakers, and learn what others are doing on the job.
Insights gathered through committees and COPs help inform ESC’s operational planning and resource development.
