The Call for Nominations for CERIC’s Etta St. John Wileman Award for Outstanding Achievement in Career Development is now open. This is your opportunity to recognize and celebrate the trailblazers who are making significant contributions to the field of career development. 

Do you know someone who has: 

• Made an impact through outstanding service, community engagement, advocacy or education? 

• Inspired and mentored colleagues, students or clients? 

• Advocated for justice, equity, diversity and inclusion within the workplace? 

• Demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to enhancing the field of career development? 

This award is more than just a recognition—it’s a celebration of the outstanding achievement within the career development profession. Past recipients have recently included Trina Maher and Lynne Bezanson with the Wileman Award honouring their remarkable contributions. 

It was announced earlier this year that CERIC’s flagship award was evolving to become more inclusive and accessible. The changes were to ensure the award honours those who are making a significant impact within the wide-ranging field of career development, regardless of role or position within an organization. 

The award is given in the name of Etta St. John Wileman. In the early 20th century, Wileman was a champion and crusader of career, work and workplace development in Canada.  

Don’t miss this chance to highlight the incredible work of your peers. By nominating someone, you help us recognize and uplift the voices and efforts of those dedicated to advancing career development in Canada. Submit your nomination by September 20, 2024.
