The career management/development sector is undergoing a professionalization and transformation process. Roles, qualifications, and professional identities are in flux and incredible opportunities are emerging as career management practices are becoming an increasingly important part of human resource planning. As a result, endless possibilities exist for those who are already in the field hoping to grow their careers, and also for those just beginning to explore work as a Career Development Practitioner (CDP).

This guide (and accompanying project resources) is a culmination of our passion and dedication to the career development sector and its workers. Our objective is to provide CDPs with a better sense of where work exists. In Part 1, we explore the work career practitioners do, reflect on the rich history of the field, and explore common career paths. In Part 2, we look at the common roles that career practitioners play; then, in Part 3, we consider where the work is found.

We hope you find this guide a source of encouragement as you explore the incredible opportunities that exist for CDPs.
