Industry Expert Series: CDAA members highlighted in the Professional Practice Learning Plan that they wanted to strenghten their practice in the competency areas of Labour Market Information, Professional Practice Application and Technology, Information and Resources.
However, these competencies differ from industry to industry. To assist you in developing the skills relevant to specific industries, we have organised an Industry Expert Series. The series will run in the form of a live online panel discussion, with a different industry focus each month.
A facilitator will interview two industry expert career practitioners, which will be followed by an open floor for participants to ask questions. You will also be able to share what you would like the panellists to discuss when you register.
