Career Practitioners
Conference: May 7, 2004 - Wanuskewin Heritage Park
The Career Practitioners Conference was held
May 7, 2004 at Wanuskewin Heritage Park. In attendance were 105
individuals, including 71 participants, 28 presenters, and 6
members of the organizing committee.
The day began with opening
remarks and the keynote address by Phil Jarvis, Vice President
of the National Life/Work Centre
in Ottawa. Phil is a leading proponent of the “career management
paradigm shift.” He speaks eloquently and passionately
to the personal, social and economic costs of continuing to adhere
to an out-of-date vocational guidance mindset. Phil is the co-author
and national coordinator of the Blueprint for Life/Work Designs,
Canada’s new national career management competency framework.
Phil’s presentation entitled Career Self-Management Skills:
Keys to Individual and Community Prosperity focused on the fact
that the days when a career professional could match a person
with an occupation, map out the path and then let things unfold
in a predictable manner are gone. Consequently, much current
career decision-making is unintentional, and therefore, most
adults feel they’re in the wrong job. The consequences,
both economic and human, are unacceptable. However, the competencies
people need to become intentional career managers have been
identified and can be taught, but experiential learning resources
are needed.
Phil’s entire presentation can be found below:

Jean-Philippe Tabet from the Canadian Career
Information Partnership attended the Conference and offered some
closing remarks for
the day. The CCIP strives
to work towards a future in which individual communities and institutions
in Canada have the foundation of a career development culture to support
them
in being self-reliant in achieving their goals. They provide a national
forum for career development leadership partners from provincial-territorial-federal
jurisdictions to foster a career development culture that integrates occupational
labour market and learning information. Currently Jean-Philippe Tabet is
working with the SLMC and the Industry Education Council to create a local
Career Practitioners
Association.
The first Career Practitioners Conference has
been hailed a success and considerations for next year’s
event are underway.
