In pursuit of a sustainable staffing model to meet the ever changing needs of today’s students.

This is a webinar! 

It is not surprising that the question of “What is your staff to student ratio?” is one of the most frequently asked questions by managers and directors in WIL across various institutions. Despite this seemingly simple grade 1 math question, it is ever challenging to articulate what this number means in relation to the sustainability of our staffing needs. It is undeniable that it takes a village behind every student’s success. Yet, the organizational structure of individual WIL units, the financial model and size of each institution define and differentiate us from how we work with all stakeholders. Thus, a simple quantitative number is not going to address what that village needs in order to be sustainable both operationally and financially.

We will host a round table discussion with WIL leaders to explore the factors that contribute to creating a sustainable staffing model. We will consider the distinct differences for each WIL institution such as size of WIL programs, financial structure, centralized/de-centralized models, and more.  Our goal is to learn from each other by leading a collaborative dialogue around strategies for sharing our WIL stories internally and advocating for resources beyond in terms of numbers and dollars. Guiding questions: How can we move away from relying on quantitative outputs to justify what we need to provide quality support to students? How can we articulate the complexity of students’ issues that require more staffing resources and training for our teams? How can we retain the talent of our team? What would that equilibrium look like in terms of a sustainable staffing model? Join us on the quest of searching for the ultimate formula.

Career Development Professional Centre

Code of Conduct

Help us cultivate a Centre we all enjoy by reviewing and following the Code of Conduct.

Our Purpose

Thank you for being a part of the Career Development Professional Centre. To ensure that all members have the best possible experience, we have a few ground rules that we ask everyone to adhere to. This code of conduct applies equally to every person in the community and is intended to foster an online space that is inclusive, safe, and welcoming to all.

Centre Rules

Be welcoming

We strive to be a place that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. We aim to be a place that promotes excellence and innovation in career and workforce development. Please extend respect to all members; we all come from different backgrounds and levels of knowledge and there is no such thing as a stupid question.

Be respectful

We won’t all agree all the time, but when we disagree don’t let those disagreements turn into personal attacks. A place where people feel uncomfortable or threatened will not be a productive one. When having discussions in the online community, commenting on a library article, or participating in other Centre activities, strive for productive conversations around the content being presented, not the person behind the content. Any comments determined to be “hate speech” towards any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the comment has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Hate Speech could include and is not limited to:

  • Violent threats or language directed against another person
  • Discriminatory jokes, language, or materials
  • Defamatory or abusive language or materials
  • Profane or illegal materials
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

A good rule of thumb is to never say anything that you wouldn’t be comfortable with the world seeing or that you wouldn’t want anyone knowing came from you. We ask that you keep in mind the focus of this place, which is building excellence and innovation in career and workforce development for all individuals.

Be considerate of the purpose of the Centre

The Centre focuses on building excellence and discussing innovation in the career and workforce development field. The goal of the social learning community is to communicate goals, challenges, constructive feedback, and questions in relation to career and workforce development. The Centre should be a place for continued learning and development as well as a place to discuss the future of our field (solicitation without written consent by the Project or Advisory team, is strictly prohibited). Any post or comment that is determined to be soliciting any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the post has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Post your discussions or documents in the most appropriate group or topic

Especially within the social learning community, make reasonable efforts to ensure that posts and materials are allocated to the appropriate group or topic. This will prevent cluttering the feed and make it easier for everyone to find the information that they are seeking. Individuals who do this repeatedly will be contacted by one of the group admins and asked to follow these guidelines.

Privacy and Release of Information

CDPC-CEDC will not release your information to any third-party agencies.

Thank you and welcome to the CDPC
