CERIC is examining the actual and anticipated impact of COVID-19 on career services across Canada as we move into a recovery period.
The last few months have brought unprecedented change to every aspect of our economy and society – and career services is no exception. We want to know the implications of this new reality for career service professionals.
This survey is intended to gather vital intelligence around shifting conditions and provide a snapshot of the emergent state of the career development field in Canada and, importantly, how career services are being reimagined.
Results will be shared with the broad career development community and other stakeholders. Survey participants will be helping to tell the story of the public good that career and employment professionals offer in this period of massive workforce upheaval and to highlight the value of a career mindset.
Recognizing that the ground continues to shift, we plan to run the survey three times, in June, early September and late November 2020.
