January 7, 2026AI and the future of career development: Reclaiming the human advantage through transferable skills
January 12, 2026
As professionals across the career development sector plan for the year ahead, CERIC is offering a new learning opportunity focused on inclusive, intersectional practice. In partnership with the Canadian Association for Supported Employment (CASE), CERIC is launching a 6-week Certificate Program: An Intersectional Approach to Supporting Career Development, with the first cohort beginning January 26, 2026.
Designed for career development practitioners, employment counsellors and workforce professionals, the program builds practical, equity-informed skills to support Black, Indigenous and People of Colour communities who experience disability (BIPOC-D). Participants engage in facilitated online learning that combines foundational concepts of intersectionality with applied strategies that can be integrated directly into professional practice.
Benefits of attending
This program supports professionals to strengthen inclusive, equity-informed career development practice by offering opportunities to:
- Build skills to identify and address workplace barriers related to race, disability and intersecting identities
- Gain confidence to advocate for equity in hiring, career support and workplace practices
- Apply strengths-based career development approaches that empower BIPOC-D jobseekers
- Learn practical strategies to navigate conversations about racism, ableism and bias
