CERIC releases Annual Report: Meeting the Moment in a Disrupted World of Work
CERIC has published its 2025 Annual Report, Meeting the Moment – Career Development in a Disrupted World of Work, documenting a year of expanded reach, new learning infrastructure and deepened advocacy for career development as a public good.
The report reflects a pivotal year for the organization – a year that marked the culmination of one strategic plan and laid the groundwork for its next chapter. As AI, economic uncertainty and labour market disruption continued to reshape the world of work, CERIC strengthened its public messaging, broadened its partnerships and made professional learning more flexible and accessible than ever before.
Among the year’s highlights:
- The launch of the Learning Hub – a new platform bringing together on-demand webinars and self-paced courses, including CERIC’s first asynchronous course
- Career Myth Buster, a national quiz, which is slated to reach more than one million students across Canada through myBlueprint’s network
- 49.8 million media impressions, with commentary and coverage spanning AI, workforce transitions, youth readiness, military-to-civilian transitions and the future of work
- 1,769 registrations for Cannexus25 in Ottawa and virtually, with 94.8% of delegates planning to share their learning with colleagues
- A redesigned project funding process that generated 53 applications in its first year – increasing access and engagement
- Results from a national Survey of Career Service Professionals, drawing over 1,000 respondents and offering a timely snapshot of the field’s pressures
The report is organized around two strategic mandates: promoting career development as a priority for the public good, and building career development knowledge, mindsets and competencies among those who support Canadians through learning, work and transition.
Looking ahead, 2026 marks the launch of CERIC’s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, with a continued focus on government and employer engagement, accessible and competency-based learning, and career development’s role in helping Canadians navigate a rapidly changing world of work.
