What is Career Development?

Career Development is for everyone's business! Career development is the lifelong management of work, learning, leisure and transitions moving towards a personally determined and ever-evolving goal. Activities within this category will help individuals focus on their own path and how to increase positive outcomes.

Wellness

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines wellness as "Well-being is a positive state experienced by individuals and societies. Similar to health, it is a resource for daily life and is determined by social, economic and environmental conditions. Well-being encompasses quality of life and the ability of people and societies to contribute to the world with a sense of meaning and purpose"

Reconciliation

Reconciliation involves understanding the past, taking responsibility for the harm that was done, and working towards healing and a just future. Holistic career development will not happen for the whole population of Manitoba and Canada until Reconciliation is realized. With this in mind, we present some resources to assist our population in working towards this goal.

Career Development Practitioners (CDPs)

Career development practitioners help individuals gain greater self-awareness, explore career options, make informed decisions about their learning, training, and career possibilities to successfully manage life and work transitions. Activities and resources within help those who work with clients in career and employment services.

Job Seekers

Job hunting involves more than creating resumes, cover letters and submitting to a job posting. This category provides resources to help job seekers develop their own career development and create a journey towards a successful career step, not just another job.

Youth, Parents & Guardians

The #1 career influencers for youth is their parents/guardians. Yet, the world of work and education/training has become more complex and evolves more quickly today. This category will help parents/guardians develop meaningful career development conversations with the youth in their lives; as well as help youth develop their own meaningful career journey.

Workplace

A workplace culture can support employees to challenge themselves with new or advanced roles, to learn, to experience and to grow. Getting involved in activities at your workplace during Career & Workforce Development Month can benefit personal well-being, benefit the business' success as well as celebrate and actively retain the employees who make it possible.

Educators

Career development education is a wellness and mental health intervention that provides skills and strategies to support counsellors in their work. Educators and counsellors do far more than help students prepare for, enter and navigate career pathways and plan for their futures - they change people's lives in ways that improve overall well-being.
