What an honest, relevant, and informative conversation about the challenges facing career development professionals around Canada.
I found the data very impactful and the intersecting of career development professionals from various sectors led to a very constructive and informative conversation about the importance of increased access to funding and the development of solid partnerships among community members.
I will be attending the next session on motivational interviewing!
