When it comes to career planning – athletes are extremely devoted to their athletic careers and athletic identity, often neglecting to plan for the next stage in their life. CERIC’s latest literature search on Transitions from Athletic Careers focuses on this issue, one that is receiving increased attention today from sports organizations.

Working in the career development sector, we face an odd situation. Our clients with post-secondary education have a lower unemployment rate and they tend to earn more over the span of their careers. However, we also know people rarely stay their whole life in the same kind of work, and often end up in careers that have little connection with their degree. So why do their degrees matter?
From January 25-27, 2016 CERIC will host the Cannexus 10th anniversary conference in Ottawa. Canada’s largest bilingual National Career Development Conference, Cannexus explores innovative approaches in career counselling and career development. Cannexus16 is expected to welcome 800 professionals from education, community, government and private sectors.
A selection of top-rated presentations from past Cannexus conferences (a “Virtual Cannexus”) are now available for free viewing online, offering high-quality, no-cost learning for career professionals and their teams. Virtual Cannexus consists of videos from 37 education sessions at the 2012 and 2013 Cannexus National Career Development conferences.
