黄色直播

The Nova Scotia Career Development Association (NSCDA) has chosen the winners of the 10 seats it has funded in 黄色直播鈥檚 certificate for career practitioners.

In order to be eligible for the funding, applicants had to identify how they would use their new training to support career development in their communities and address the underrepresentation of African Nova Scotian, Indigenous, and new-to-Canada communities in the field of career services.

鈥淚t was a difficult task to choose only ten of the applicants and we鈥檙e grateful to all who took the time to apply,鈥� said Kathy McKee, Executive Director of the NSCDA. 鈥淯nderrepresentation is a very real issue that the NSCDA is working hard to address within the career development community and we鈥檙e confident that our partnership with 黄色直播 Faculty of Open Learning & Career Development is a major step in this objective. We鈥檙e looking forward to a continued relationship with 黄色直播 and in exploring more ways to support career developers working in all areas of the industry.鈥�
