Overview

The climate crisis not only creates new environmental, economic and societal problems, but exacerbates  pre-existing inequalities and inequities of our present world. To address this pressing issue, there is a growing demand for a just transition that can effectively tackle the evolving challenges of our changing world while leaving no one behind. 

A just transition requires that all individuals have access to decent work, regardless of their station in life. Presently some jobs are celebrated while others result in physical and emotional harm, leaving those workers disengaged from society and despairing.  

Career development professionals can play a key role in changing this narrative and working collectively towards a more sustainable future and a just transition. By advocating for and empowering clients to pursue decent work from their employers and their society, they can contribute to a more equitable future for all.  

Why Career Practitioners Should Attend

Career development professionals traditionally provide career management and self-exploration skills, helping the client better adapt to the social structures around them. There is also an acknowledgement of equity/diversity/inclusion, but rarely do we discuss how to empower client-centered change in employers.  

In the webinar series, we will discuss the intersections between decent work and climate/sustainability, and explore how these issues disproportionately impact vulnerable groups, including refugees, Indigenous communities and students – often the most affected by the rapidly changing dynamics of our world. This practical two-part webinar series will go through concrete strategies to empower clients through consciousness raising, negotiation skills and awareness of labour law, while fostering a collaboration between employers and employees.

Cross-cultural approaches will be highlighted along with real-life case examples of how CDPs can effectively support their clients to pursue decent work and improve the quality of their lives. This will involve the application of various social justice principles including those from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, in the work of career development professionals. 

By the end of the webinar series, participants will feel better equipped and will leave with a list of resources, strategies and techniques to create positive impacts in your clients’ lives amidst a changing planet.  

Webinar #1: Decent Work – Defining and developing a more equitable world

Wednesday, November 29, 2023 – 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm ET
  • Defining decent work as a justice issue and how it relates to various theories 
  • Raising awareness among clients of inequities in employment 
  • Principles of labour and strategies for creating change within the workplace 
  • Considering a holistic approach to decent work from Heart, Mind, Body, Spirit 
  • Case studies in cross-cultural and Indigenous contexts 

Webinar #2: Decent Work - Practical tools for advancing equitable work for our clients

Wednesday, December 6, 2023 – 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm ET
  • Framing our position and responsibilities as career practitioners 
  • Applying career theories to the TRC’s Calls to Action  
  • Ideas and conversational reframes to explore with clients 
  • Additional case studies in cross-cultural and Indigenous contexts

Announcing Fall Webinars: Indigenous career development, unconscious bias, refugee integration and much more

August 10, 2023By

CERIC, along with its partner associations, will be offering a variety of webinar series in the next few months to support the career development community on a range of timely topics. Take a look at our comprehensive list – and take advantage of the Zoom AI-generated live captions available in multiple languages, including English and French for each webinar series.

Indigenous peoples represent about 5% of the world’s population but make up 15% of the world’s poor. Indigenous peoples are also more likely to face obstacles to workforce entry due to racism, unconscious bias and discrimination. This leaves well-meaning career practitioners at a loss for how to best support their clients.

This free webinar series will provide an opportunity to learn from inspiring Indigenous career professionals from New Zealand and Canada, who will share their journey in the career development field and their perspectives on cultural approaches to Indigenous career development.

As career practitioners, whether in individual or group sessions, we interact with various clients, including those with multiple barriers or diverse needs. These clients or students may require additional strategies and techniques for empowering them and helping them succeed in their careers and educational paths. The Change It Up (CiU) approach, based on decades of research, incorporates the Fab 5 principles: hands-on, learner-centred, holistic, strength-based and trauma-aware.

This free webinar will introduce you to the CiU approach to counselling and teaching and will offer you the opportunity to explore the “how” of working in the field of career counselling.

Career development entrepreneurship, often approached as a solopreneur, can be seen as a seemingly impossible dream. How does one go about launching a private practice? What types of options are available to advisors? What challenges do people face? What are the essential tools and resources for preserving mental health? How do you combine your role as a practitioner with that of an entrepreneur?

The four sessions in this series will serve as a guide to private practice, covering key elements such as the myths and realities of self-employment, effective client recruitment, ethics and obligations, marketing and communications strategies, and essential work tools. This French webinar series aims to prepare and raise awareness among career development professionals who dream of entering private practice.

Despite the growing number of diversity hiring plans across various sectors, jobseekers still have concerns about hiring bias. Moreover, hiring bias has proven to have a negative impact on the well-being and mental health of workers. This creates greater roadblocks to career success, especially for underrepresented groups.

This new webinar series will explore the profound impacts that implicit bias has on job search and worker well-being. It will also provide career development practitioners with the tools and knowledge to strengthen their multicultural competency. Participants will leave the series equipped to effectively advocate for their clients and provide better support throughout their career journeys.

Many individuals who seek career counselling services experience psychological distress, particularly in relation to decision-making difficulties. Their fears, doubts, stress and sometimes anxiety tend to block their ability to mobilize and make choices. Faced with this, the professionals whose role it is to help them may themselves feel powerless, lacking concrete, effective tools to mobilize and support their clients.

The Acceptance and Commitment Approach (ACT) is a scientifically rigorous, evidence-based approach with proven effectiveness. This approach offers concrete interventions that career counsellors can apply both to their clients – to guide and support them in achieving their life and career goals – and to themselves, to take care of their role as counsellors and overcome the challenges specific to our practice, particularly with difficult clients.

Note that OCCOQ recognizes the full series for 3 hours of credits.

The number of refugees admitted in Canada (and specifically Quebec) is set to increase over the next few years. To effectively support their social and professional integration, it’s crucial for career practitioners to grasp the actual circumstances of these individuals. Unfortunately, counsellors often encounter challenges, as prevailing research in this domain primarily focuses on skilled immigrants, leaving a gap in understanding for other groups.

In response, this free French webinar aims to equip career professionals to work with refugees, offering practical tools and an intervention guide for individual and group counselling.

CERIC’s webinars are now hosted via the Zoom events platform to provide more interactive learning and networking opportunities. Participants will have access to a lobby where they can interact with other participants before, between and after the sessions, as well as many interaction options during the live webinars. An FAQ answers any technical questions. Paid webinars will be recorded and individual certificates of attendance will be provided to all registered participants who attend the webinars live.

CERIC partners with associations and organizations across Canada and beyond to present webinars that offer affordable professional development. Previously, CERIC has also worked with the Association of Service Providers for Employability and Career Training BC, BC Career Development Association, Canadian Association of Career Educators and Employers, Canadian Association for Supported Employment, Career Development Association of Alberta, Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, Career Professionals of Canada, Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada, Experiential and Work-Integrated Learning Ontario, First Work, Labour Market Information Council, New Brunswick Career Development Association, Nova Scotia Career Development Association, Ontario Association of Career Management, Ontario School Counsellors’ Association, Vocational Rehabilitation Association (Canada), and the US-based National Career Development Association.

Cette série de webinaires est offerte en partenariat avec l’Ordre des Conseillers et Conseillères du Québec (OCCOQ). L’Ordre soutient ses membres dans le développement et la consolidation de leurs compétences, dans le respect de leurs obligations.

L’Ordre des Conseillers et Conseillères du Québec reconnaît cette série de webinaires comme trois heures de formation continue.

Vue d’ensemble de la série :

Bon nombre d’individus qui consultent pour des services en counseling de carrière vivent de la détresse sur le plan psychologique en relation avec, notamment, des difficultés de prise de décision. Ils ressentent de l’impuissance et perdent souvent confiance en eux, ne sachant plus dans quelle voie s’engager ni quelle décision prendre. Les craintes, les doutes, le stress et parfois l’anxiété qui les envahissent tendent à les bloquer dans leur capacité à se mobiliser et à faire des choix.

Face à cela, les intervenants qui ont pour rôle de les aider peuvent eux-mêmes se sentir impuissants et en manque d’outils concrets et efficaces pour mobiliser et soutenir leurs clients. L’approche d’acceptation et d’engagement (ACT) représente une approche scientifique rigoureuse dont l’efficacité, avérée, est fondée sur des données probantes. Cette approche offre des pistes d’interventions concrètes (par exemple à travers la matrice) que les intervenants du counseling de carrière peuvent aussi bien appliquer auprès de leurs clients afin de les orienter et de les soutenir dans l’atteinte de leurs objectifs de vie et de carrière, que pour eux-mêmes afin de prendre soin de leur rôle d’intervenant et surmonter les défis propres à notre pratique, notamment auprès de clientèles difficiles.

Pourquoi les professionnels de carrière devraient participer :

Cette série de trois webinaires fait suite à la série de webinaires à succès réalisée en 2021 avec Frédéric Piot. Cette nouvelle édition offrira aux participants l’opportunité de mettre concrètement en pratique la matrice ACT auprès de leurs clients en découvrant de nouveaux outils de conceptualisation et techniques issus du counseling de carrière. Ainsi, cette nouvelle série s’adresse autant à des participants néophytes qui souhaitent découvrir, intégrer des stratégies et outils issus de l’ACT qu’à celles et ceux qui souhaitent approfondir leur connaissance de cette approche par l’acquisition d’outils pratiques axés sur le counseling de carrière.

La série permettra aux participants, dans un premier temps, de comprendre les fondements de l’ACT, ce qu’elle cible (en l’occurrence la souplesse comportementale) et les différents leviers d’intervention qu’elle propose, cela à travers la mise en lumière de situations et comportements néfastes au développement professionnel ou scolaire des individus.
Puis, durant les 2 webinaires suivants, les participants auront l’occasion de découvrir et de mettre en pratique des outils concrets (métaphores, questions puissantes) à travers la mise en application d’un outil d’analyse et de conceptualisation d’intervention : la matrice de carrière.
Enfin, les participants auront l’occasion de découvrir comment appliquer la matrice et les techniques ACT pour eux-mêmes afin de continuer à soutenir efficacement leurs clients tout en prenant soin de leur rôle d’intervenant.

À la fin de la série, les participants seront en mesure de mettre en place la matrice de carrière auprès de leurs clients afin de les aider à se mobiliser dans l’atteindre des objectifs de carrière ou d’étude qu’ils se sont fixés.

Frédéric Piot

Conseiller en orientation en pratique privée, chargé de cours (UQAM), formateur et superviseur professionnel, Frédéric Piot a complété un doctorat (UQAM, 2022) portant sur l’élaboration et l’évaluation d’un programme de counseling de carrière (programme OREKA) fondé sur l’approche d’acceptation et d’engagement (ACT). Aujourd’hui, les formations qu’il offre en milieu de travail et à distance sont destinées aux intervenant du counseling de carrière puisqu’elles portent sur l’adoption, par ces derniers, de l’ACT dans leurs pratiques d’interventions, tant pour le bénéfice des clients qu’ils accompagnent que pour prendre soin de leur propre santé mentale en relation d’aide.

Dans ce cadre, il est l’auteur du programme EXPLORA qui représente une démarche guidée de counseling de carrière fondée sur l’ACT et destinée aux personnes en transition de carrière.

Que nous disent les participants du webinaire de Frédéric?

Pascale Poulin, Conseillère d'orientation, Intro-Travail et Carrefour jeunesse-emploi du Granit

J’ai apprécié que ce soient contextualisés et adaptés à un contexte de développement de carrière. L’ACT peut à première vue avoir l’air d’appartenir à la psychothérapie, mais je trouve valorisant que les c.o. reconnaissent et utilisent leurs compétences en s’intéressant et en appliquant « haut et fort » une approche qui demande une compréhension poussée de la psychologie humaine.

Sandra Rainville, Conseillère en évaluation du potentiel et psychométrique, AtmanCo

Merci. Belle présentation, claire et pertinente. Bon dosage théorie vs pratique.

René Olivier, Conseiller dorientation, UQTR

Une très bonne introduction à l’approche ACT en orientation avec des exemples d’applications dans la pratique.

Isabella Putignano, Conseillère en orientation, Connexion emploi ressources femmes

Un gros merci à monsieur Piot pour cette formation. Vous m’avez donné le goût d’aller chercher plus d’information au sujet de cette approche.

Mélanie Mercier-Duquette, Intervenante psychosociale, College Jean-de-Brebeuf

Belle présentation, les exemples et les capsules aident à bien concrétiser la théorie. merci, très clair et fluide.

Cette série de webinaires est offerte en partenariat avec l’Association québécoise des professionnels du développement de carrière (AQPDDC).

L’AQPDDC a pour mission d’unir les professionnels du développement de carrière, promouvoir leurs rôles et expertises, favoriser le développement professionnel et encourager les collaborations avec d’autres associations du domaine.

Vue d’ensemble de la série :

L’entrepreneuriat en développement de carrière, souvent abordé en tant que solopreneur, peut être perçu comme un rêve aux apparences innacessibles. L’attrait d’un horaire flexible, la possibilité d’exprimer sa créativité et la perspective d’une rémunération intéressante peuvent constituer des incitatifs puissants qui peuvent faire oublier les défis et particularités propres – souvent méconnus – de cette aventure entrepreneuriale. 

Alors, comment fait-on pour se lancer en pratique privée? Quels sont les types de mandats que les conseillers peuvent avoir? Quels sont les enjeux que les gens rencontrent? Quels sont les outils et ressources incontournables afin de préserver sa santé mentale? Comment conjuguer son rôle d’intervenant et celui d’entrepreneur?  

Cette série de webinaire vise à préparer et sensibiliser les professionnel.les du développement de carrière qui rêvent de se lancer en pratique privée (à temps plein/partiel) ou qui pratiquent depuis peu afin de les aider à mettre en place une pratique à la fois agréable, éthique et fleurissante. 

Les quatre sessions de cette série serviront de guide à la pratique privée et aborderont des éléments clefs tels que les mythes et réalité du travail autonome, le recrutement efficace de client.e.s, les règles éthiques et déontologiques, les stratégies de marketing et de communications et les outils de travail incontournable.  

Pourquoi les professionnels de carrière devraient participer :

Les professionnels du développement de carrière sont d’abord et avant tout des professionnels de la relation d’aide et peu d’entre-deux semblent avoir étudié en gestion ou en entrepreneuriat. Cela peut donc entrainer un vrai casse-tête quand vient le temps de se lancer en affaires avec un risque de désœuvrement et de découragement important, et ce malgré une grande motivation. 

À travers le partage de leurs propres expériences dans le lancement de leur pratique privée, des points saillants à connaître et des différents obstacles qu’ils ont rencontrés, les présentateurs seront d’une aide précieuse pour tout professionnel du développement de carrière qui songe à l’entrepreneuriat et rêve d’avoir une pratique autonome.  

À la fin de la série, les participants repartiront avec une meilleure vue d’ensemble des éléments à mettre en perspective avant de se lancer en pratique privée. Ils seront en mesure de mieux jongler avec les différents enjeux qui découlent d’une pratique autonome et seront plus à même de mettre en place une pratique privée éthique et émancipatrice.

Mercredi 1er novembre, de 12h à 13h, HE
  • S’initier aux mythes et réalité du statut d’entrepreneur ou de travailleur autonome

Overview

Indigenous peoples represent about 5% of the world’s population but make up 15% of the world’s poor. Indigenous peoples are also more likely to face obstacles to workforce entry due to racism, unconscious bias and discrimination. This leaves well-meaning career practitioners at a loss for how to best support their clients. It also provides an urgent challenge to the field of career development, governments and employers to create and sustain inclusive policies, strategies and practices that enable access to power and support decision making for Indigenous peoples.  

Since the United Nations Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) was adopted in 2007 by the General Assembly of the United Nations, countries and industries have been grappling with how to implement this universal framework for the survival of dignity and well-being of the Indigenous peoples of the world. Career practitioners are a key component to the career journey and can contribute to bringing UNDRIP and other countries’ founding documents to life by undertaking to learn, unlearn and relearn what we know about Indigenous peoples around the world. Furthermore, Indigenous career practitioners must also feel able to claim and reclaim sovereignty of their knowledges and the impact of colonization on their worldviews. 

This webinar series will provide an opportunity to learn from inspiring Indigenous career professionals from New Zealand and Canada, who will share their journey in the career development field and their perspectives on cultural approaches to Indigenous career development. The conversation will help participants understand how Indigenous peoples and Indigenous career practitioners’ worldviews of work and holistic approaches to self-development and self-determination are key aspects of cultural knowledge that inform workforce development today.   

Why Career Practitioners Should Attend

Through a deeper understanding of their clients’ values and aspirations, career development practitioners can play a decisive role in empowering their clients and guiding them toward purposeful career decisions. This webinar series will offer participants the opportunity to understand and resonate with the connection of the historical context of Indigenous peoples and the disconnection from workforce development. Participants will get inspired by how the resilience of Indigenous people, with deep connections to Indigenous teachings and worldviews, helps individuals find ways to overcome adversity to thrive in today’s economy. 

By the end of the series, participants will feel more equipped to understand their clients’ values and unique strengths that will help them succeed in their careers. Moreover, participants will gain valuable insights into how Indigenous perspectives about career pathing can build authentic and reciprocal relationships with clients and Indigenous communities, and contribute to a better future together. This webinar series presents an exceptional opportunity for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous career practitioners to learn together and collaborate in promoting inclusive and respectful career development practices on a global scale.
