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!
