OrientAction – Les rendez-vous des conseillers branché
Suivi

Au cours des dernières semaines, l’équipe d’OrientAction a participé à plusieurs événements regroupant des intervenants du domaine du développement de carrière, dont la Consultation nationale touchant le développement de Carrière (CONAT) à Ottawa, la Career Development Conference (CDC) à Vancouver et le Colloque sur l’approche orientante à Saint-Hyacinthe.

Nous avons eu le bonheur de rencontrer un grand nombre d’intervenants francophones oeuvrant dans différents secteurs et provenant de différentes provinces. Nous avons pu recueillir leurs commentaires et suggestions à propos du projet OrientAction et plusieurs nous ont demandé de les aviser par courriel au moment du lancement du site.

Si vous désirez faire partie de cette liste d’envoi ou que vous avez une suggestion pour le site, écrivez-nous à admin@orientaction.ca.

Au plaisir de vous lire,
