    I am so excited for National Certification!

    Thank you for posting this document. It is clear and outlines the next steps that we can expect in this process.

      Me too, this is such a good move for the profession. I feel that the amount of splintering within the field of career development broadly means that a lot of groups are reinventing the wheel and duplicating the efforts of other groups. This is such a great step forward for us all.

        I agree, @NoahArney. This will be great for the profession, regardless of work setting, persons served, geography or other factors that seem to separate us. I’m thrilled to be working with you on the Techncial Working Group. Exciting times ahead, I think!

    The National Certification Technical Working Group met today, engaging in some fantastic discussion. I’m thrilled to share a quick update on our work.

    We are currently working to finalize the assessment blueprint or map . . . in essence the process someone will go through to become certified. Right now, it is looking like 3 stages – eligibility, exam, interview.

    Then Dec 2023 to Apri 2024 the team will finalize and validate the assessment tools then, if all goes well, a program pilot will run May to August 2024. The pilot is exactly what it sounds . . . CDPs (who are not currently certified provincially) will be invited to go through the full national process to help us test and work out the kinks.

    Everything done by the TWG is supported by a team of external experts and monitored/approved by the National Advisory Committee that is currently being finalized/formed. This is an amazing time for our sector! @TeresaF @NoahArney @Roberta Did I miss anything?

      Woot! We are all so happy to see the word getting out there about National Certification. Superb activities are happening in Canada’s Career Development Sector, and we are thrilled to be part of them. The National TWG is an essential and critical pillar in ensuring a vetted and validated certification program for CCDPs.

Career Development Professional Centre

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

Our Purpose  

Thank you for being a part of the online CDPC social learning community. 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. 

Community Rules 

Be welcoming 

We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. We aim to create and facilitate a community 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 community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened will not be a productive one. Instead, when having discussions in the online community, create productive conversations around the content being presented, not the person behind the content. Any post that is 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 post has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC community 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 post 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 community, which is building excellence and innovation in career and workforce development for all individuals.  

Be considerate of the purpose of the community 

This community will be focused on building excellence and discussing innovation in the career and workforce development field. The goal of this community is to communicate goals, challenges, constructive feedback, and questions in relation to career and workforce development. The community 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 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 community platform depending on the findings of the investigation. 

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

Make reasonable efforts to ensure that posts and materials are allocated to the appropriate group or topic. This will prevent cluttering the community 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.  

Group Admins 

There are four group admins who are available to you. Below are their names and their spoken language. 

Heather Powell | Anglophone 

Gabrielle St-Cyr | Francophone/Anglophone 

Florence Desrochers | Francophone/Anglophone

Muriel Andoblé-Yao | Francophone

Thank you and welcome to the CDPC Community!
