November is Career and Workforce Development Month! This annual event is an opportunity for individuals, families, businesses, associations, non-profit agencies, service providers, and educational institutions to connect and share information on what's happening in career development. As a Career Advisor, CWDM is an opportunity to renew my skills, reconnect with the career development community, and reinforce my commitment to supporting individuals in exploring career options, making informed decisions about their learning, training and career paths, and successfully managing life and work transitions. I also look forward to sharing some of my thoughts and experiences at upcoming events: 📅 November 1: Manitoba Association for Career Development Let's Get to Work Conference I'll be talking about how RRC Polytech's Work Integrated Learning & Career Services team is harnessing the power of AI to transform service delivery, expand access to services, and enhance student outcomes. 📅 November 13: RRC Polytech Inspire Conference I'll be sharing networking strategies to assist students in turning event connections into professional relationships, and tips on how to keep the conversation going after the conference ends. 📅 November 27: Brainstorm Strategy Group Career Development Forum Recognizing that CDPs spend their days guiding others through the complexities of job search and sometimes putting their own career growth on hold, I'll be presenting 11 strategies Career Development Practitioners can use to advance their careers. I encourage everyone in my network to take some time this month and think about how you want to develop your career in the future. Got questions? Send me a message! Interested in learning more?
