New literature search explores disabilities and career development

CERIC’s most recent literature search focuses on Persons with Disabilities and Career Development. Career development professionals often work with clients who have a range of disabilities and issues in finding meaningful employment. According to a 2012 Government of Canada survey, 13.7% of Canadian adults have a disability that limits their daily activities.

Topics covered in the literature search include:

• The impact of disability on earnings

• The integration of persons with disabilities into the job market

• Disability and skills

• Barriers to the career advancement of disabled professionals

There are a total of 27 literature searches available, including Older Workers and Career Development, Military Transition to Civilian Careers, Aboriginal Issues in Career Development and Mental Health Issues in the Workplace.

The literature searches feature comprehensive listings of key research and articles in career development, highlighting critical points of current knowledge.

Literature searches are of great use if you are researching the latest thinking or proven best practices. They are also valuable if you are considering a submission to CERIC for project partnership funding to gain an overview of major work already done in your area of interest.
