CERIC has partnered with Canada Company, the leader in military employment transition, to provide the over 100,000 Canadian career service professionals with the tools they need to help veterans transitioning into civilian careers.

In 2016, there will be approximately 5,000 new, highly skilled veterans entering the competitive job market, and one in four will have difficulty transitioning to civilian life despite bringing unique skills and experiences to potential employers. Veterans are facing various challenges including, employers not understanding military culture and systems, the career development needs of veterans, or how to determine civilian equivalencies.

For the first time CERIC is partnering with the British Columbia Career Development Association (BCCDA) on a new webinar series – Strengthening the Skills of Career Development Leaders, starting March 1.

The University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg are working with Career Trek to undertake a CERIC-funded research study that will extend our knowledge of children’s career development theory, and allow us to better understand how youth make career-related decisions and how to best support the process.

Cannexus is Canada’s largest bilingual National Career Development Conference and will take place January 25-27, 2016 in Ottawa. The conference will celebrate its 10th anniversary and bring together more than 800 professionals from education, community, government and private sectors to exchange information and explore innovative approaches in career development.
