Inspiring Excellence in Career Development: INTEGRATION

We are so pleased to extend a warm CDAA and ACT invitation to all colleagues and stakeholders in the career development community to meet at the CDAA 2019 Canberra Conference (and yes, that’s Canberra and warm together in one sentence!).

We are excited about our Conference theme, which is Inspiring Excellence in Career Development: Integration. Why should this matter to you? A new paradigm is emerging around us – the fields of education, training and work are increasingly integrated and there is a shift across all sectors; away from viewing career development as a stand-alone specialisation, towards it being merged with other activities and delivered collaboratively with other professionals. And the shift from personal to digital interaction continues at pace. How to best navigate this integration and grasp the opportunities to remain relevant?

The outstanding line up of 4 International and 24 Australian presenters from all sectors of the profession will explore the current challenges and opportunities presented by an integrated approach to Career Development. As experienced and respected practitioners and researchers, they will provide solutions and tools for you to implement in your workplace. We encourage you to review a summary of the Conference Keynote Presenters and Learning Outcomes.

The CDAA National Conference is the only national opportunity completely focussed on career development theory and practice with a cross-sectoral perspective. As we meet face to face to learn, be challenged and be inspired by a myriad of national and international thought leaders in one place at one time, we also experience a true sense of belonging to Australia’s Career Development community.

This is a tax-deductible investment in your own future; the chance to reflect on where the profession is at, where it is heading and what your place will be. And it’s an experience that can’t be had on line or at a local small event.

For our profession’s stakeholders and suppliers, this is the best investment you can make to develop new business opportunities and renew acquaintances, in one place at one time.

And in addition to all that professional development and interaction, spring is wonderful in Canberra! We hope you will be able to spend a little time before or after the Conference taking in some of the wonderful experiences that the Floriade Spring Festival or the many National Galleries have to offer.

Warm Regards,
