This training supports Career Development Professionals on PEI to meet Canadian standards, carry new strategies into their work with clients, and connect to a broader community of practice on the Island across Canada and around the world.

Courses include the following:
Career Development Foundations ($450 - 50% SkillsPEI funding = $225 per person*)
This course provides participants with an introduction to career development, exploring what it is and presenting a process (the 4M model) that highlights its key elements. The course includes hands-on experience with a range of practical and creative career development interventions targeted to major career development issues faced by youth, young adults and not so young adults!
Career Development for Persons with Disability ($100- 50% SkillsPEI funding = $50 per person*)
This short course is an extension of the Career Development Foundations course that provides an overview of relevant statistics, current career outcomes and available protections for persons living with disabilities in Canada. It looks at the evolving definition of disability and the five main categories of disability consistently included in current definitions. This topic then revisits the 4M model in the context of serving persons with disabilities. It's a chance to consider how best to support your clients and students who are living with disabilities to meander, maneuver, find meaning and maintain momentum.
Career Development Theories ($450 - 50% SkillsPEI funding = $225 per person*)
This course enables practitioners to build a critical mass of knowledge and skill as a foundation on which to base their practice in career development. The course makes career development theories both understandable and relevant by constantly relating them to day-to-day practice realities. In this way, practice becomes grounded in a theoretical perspective that is congruent and meaningful to learners.
The Career Development Process ($450 - 50% SkillsPEI funding = $225 per person*)
This course builds the core skills and specialized techniques needed to effectively establish and maintain a working alliance with clients and deliver quality career services. It supports learners in practicing the skills underpinning the working alliance and client engagement in the context of the career service delivery model. The course explores key contributors to client self-management and enhances the capacity of learners to deal with reluctant clients, identify success indicators and monitor progress. This course also provides an opportunity for career development practitioners to refine their personal approaches to practice.
Ethics in Career Development Practice ($300 - 50% SkillsPEI funding = $150 per person*)
The goal of this course is to enable learners to develop the theoretical and reflective foundation necessary for ethical service delivery. This course prepares learners to meet the core requirements for ethical practice as set out in the Competency Framework for Career Development Professionals (CDPs) and, specifically, the Code of Ethics. The course will also provide learners with an ethical decision-making model to guide your approach to ethical dilemmas.
Using Labour Market Information in Career Services ($450 - 50% SkillsPEI funding = $225 per person*)
This course prepares participants to better access, understand and apply labour market information (LMI) in their work with clients. Integrating both formal and informal LMI, this course teaches strategies to find, make sense of and apply LMI in meaningful ways to support better career development with students and clients.
Work Search ($450 - 50% SkillsPEI funding = $225 per person*)
This course prepares career development practitioners to help students/clients transition into jobs, find/create meaningful work, and develop personalized plans for effective work search. Comprised of five self-directed modules, this practical and timely course is geared to helping learners build their expertise in work search strategies for today’s emergent labour market.
Strategies and Tools for Quality Career Service Delivery ($175- 50% SkillsPEI funding = $87.50 per person*)
This short course (a sub-set of the full Career Development Process course) introduces the Employment Service Delivery Model (ESDM): an outline of the main phases, steps and sub-steps involved in service delivery.
