CDPC-CEDC Training Application Form - CDPC

Welcome and thank you for your interest in this new course
Career Development Practice: Building a New Era

This training course is relevant for anyone working within career and employment services, regardless of the setting in which you work or your years of experience. For the pilot sessions being held across Canada throughout Spring 2023, we encourage those newest to the field, who may not have had access to formal training in career development, to apply. Within each cohort, we will strive for diversity across employer-type, groups being served, and years of experience.

As such, the following application form will help us learn more about you. From there, the Centre’s team and provincial/regional stakeholders will review each application to select candidates in as fair and equitable a way as possible. In this round of training, we have limited space so not everyone who applies will be offered a seat. Know, however, that the long-term vision for this course is to make it freely available online in perpetuity in September, 2023.

Training Schedule and Expectations

This is a 30-hour course, with 18 hours of live/synchronous instruction and 12 hours of self-directed learning
