Career Development Facilitator Alumni Group Meets in Madison

About 35 certified Global Career Development Facilitators (GCDFs) met at the Center on Education and Work on Friday, November 7, 2008 for a networking and professional development event that has become a biannual happening. Participants discussed issues and topics that were pertinent to their work as career specialists, including needs of the mature worker, economic issues and career development, blogging, working with individuals with disabilities, and career development in a corporate environment.

Most of the group of CDFs that met have completed the 120-hour training leading to the certification, provided by Master Trainer Dr. Judy Ettinger, through the Center. CDFs came from a variety of work settings include K-12 schools, businesses, community agencies, government, and postsecondary institutions. The group will convene again for networking at the 2009 Careers Conference, January 27-28, 2009, at The Madison Concourse Hotel. The next CDF training course offered through the Center will be held in Summer 2009. For details and registrations, go here.
