The findings present a critical snapshot of the current state of the career development field, highlighting the most pressing issues facing career professionals, their priorities for professional development and evolving client needs.
This comprehensive survey is only held every four to five years. It was previously run in 2019 and 2015, and provides rich data on the evolving state of the career services community in Canada amid labour market and economic shifts.
