Canada Career Month

The evergreen theme for Canada Career Month is AMPLIFY. During Career Month, we are all invited to #amplify career development. There are so many ways we do this naturally in our work as Career Development Professionals:

amplifying our voice in advocating for our sector
amplifying people’s awareness of the work we do
amplifying opportunities for under-represented groups
amplifying the voices of those advocating for social justice issues
amplifying the sector’s profile, visibility, and accessibility
amplifying the evidence base so career development is widely known and valued
amplifying innovation in our field

The list goes on! How do you want to amplify career development this November? We encourage you to plan #amplify events during Canada Career Month and add them to our Calendar!
