What you'll learn

A confluence of global phenomena, including climate change, artificial intelligence and the 2020 pandemic, have dramatically reshaped the world of work. This urgent reassessment of career options highlights the critical role of career development practitioners (CDPs). It is crucial for CDPs to understand these transformative forces to guide individuals through the challenges and opportunities of the rapidly changing nature of work.

The FREE recorded webinar shares key findings from the CERIC-funded Career Development in 2040 research project. Learn about 10 megatrends affecting career development and how these will change the nature of your work – and, crucially, what you can do to prepare through ongoing learning and professional development.

 

Gain insight into the macro factors redefining the changing workplace and career paths

 

Understand how career development services may evolve in response to these major changes

 

Examine the potential impacts of these changes on the future responsibilities and roles of career developers

 

Discuss the skills and competencies CDPs may need by 2040 as a result

 

And much more!

This recorded webinar originally ran in 2024 and continues to offer forward-looking insights for career professionals. It is based on the Career Development in 2040 research project, which produced a series of reports exploring how work and career development may evolve between now and 2040 and what that might mean for career development professionals.

What Learners are Saying:

I thought the session was valuable because it validated the many/collective concerns of CDPs. Now that they are out in the open, we can continue the conversation and work together through changes.

It was visionary, objective, informative and interesting information.

The material presented is very relevant to the present as well as the future. It encourages CDP's to be (more) proactive in this field. Lots of work to be done!

They shared some interesting perspectives I had not thought of before. Their knowledge was sound and their research was thorough.

Very relevant information and insight into future planning for the sector, which can start today.

Listening to them gave me hope and many future possibilities to consider. This is important as I see so many challenges ahead. To me they provided light in the darkness of the unknown.
