Meet Your New Best Friends: The Competency Framework and Code of Ethics for Career Development Professionals
After three years of intense consultation, development, and refinement, we now have the most rigorous and robust Competency Framework and Code of Ethics for Career Development Professionals (CDPs) in the world. But all the power of these documents to support quality and growth in our field lies in their active usage. This session will give you your own guided tour through the new framework and code, and an opportunity to dig into the Code of Ethics to explore how it can be used to support and enrich your practice. This session will be highly interactive, focused on real case scenarios, and concrete application.
