The national survey run by CERIC, a charitable organization that advances career development in Canada, is open during Canada Career Month. Your responses will help CERIC, and the field at large, to better understand your interests and challenges, as well as your professional development and information needs.
This year, there is particular interest in hearing from educators and counsellors involved in the K-12 system, with a special section of the survey devoted to learning about how career education is happening in our schools. Questions explore what form career programs are taking and whether career is infused into curriculum.
The comprehensive survey is only run once every four years – and presents a critical opportunity to take a snapshot of the profession and how it has changed over time. It was previously run in 2011 and 2015. In 2015, over 1,000 practitioners completed the survey and provided rich data on the state of the career services community in Canada.
This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Preliminary findings will be released at the Cannexus20 National Career Development Conference (January 27–29, 2020) and shared throughout the year. For taking the time to complete the survey, you can enter into a draw to win a variety of prizes.
