Synopsis
With a goal of bringing greater clarity and consistency to our national conversations about career development, CERIC has developed a set of “Guiding Principles of Career Development.” Career professionals are encouraged to use and share this document widely. These Guiding Principles reflect multiple voices at CERIC and are intended as a starting point to inform discussions with clients, employers, funders, policy-makers and families. The Guiding Principles include an exploration of the word “career” and outline the many benefits of career development.
A series of six Action Plans based on the Guiding Principles of Career Development are now available. The Action Plans provide any professional who delivers career supports with starter questions, practical interventions and fun exercises to apply with different client groups.
Each issue of Careering magazine features a Guiding Principle “in action,” exploring how a career professional is applying a principle in practice.
