Canadian Career Development Researcher Database

Who is doing what research in Canada?

CERIC has developed the Canadian Career Development Researcher Database to answer the question: “Who is doing what research in Canada”?

Canada is home to many leading researchers across the country, whether at universities or within community-based settings, doing important work across many areas of interest within the career development field. The database brings this rich information together in one easy-to-use searchable online resource.

Consistent with CERIC’s strategic priorities, it is our intent that by documenting researchers and the research being done in Canada, we can continue to advance knowledge in career development theory and practice, champion collaboration among diverse interestholders and facilitate conversations between career practitioners and researchers as well as among educators, employers and policymakers.

Researchers, students, organizations and individuals can use the database to identify potential academic and non-academic partners for future research projects.
They can also use it to begin to determine research already being done in Canada and how to best advance this knowledge.
The database is also of value as a jumping off point for those seeking to learn about the latest research in any area of career development.

In particular, anyone applying for CERIC project funding will find the database of use to determine how to proceed in building on existing research, and whether there is potential for collaboration.

You can search more than 50 areas of interest, by province and by institution. You can also search for keywords. Or simply browse through the list of more than 200 researchers.

CERIC will work to keep the database as current and accurate as possible. Researchers are asked to contact us to be added to the database or to have their information amended. Anyone is also welcome to reach out with a recommendation of a Canadian researcher to add by emailing CERIC’s Manager of Research Initiatives Alexandra Manoliu at alexandra@ceric.ca.
