The work of CERIC as well as the current landscape of career development in Canada are the subjects of a wide-ranging interview with CERIC Vice-President and General Manager Riz Ibrahim on Professionally Speaking TV this month.

In conversation with host Randall Craig, Ibrahim explores topics that include parents’ role in children’s career planning, the need for Canadians to take responsibility for navigating their own careers and the kinds of support for career development that employers should provide.

Ibrahim discusses CERIC’s strategic programs, including our redesigned ContactPoint online community for career development professionals; projects we’ve funded such as The Decade After High School guides; and new initiatives, in particular, our Canada’s Career Imperative roundtables exploring “talent disconnects” across the country.

With a history in the non-profit sector, Ibrahim also shares the story of his own career journey.

Professionally Speaking TV is an online, one-hour, one-on-one weekly interview with the nation’s thought leaders.
