BRITISH COLUMBIA CAREER DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION (BCCDA) is a non-profit professional association registered under the Society Act in the Province of BC. Incorporated in 2010, BCCDA was formed by the merger of BC Career Management Association (LMI Career Management Association of BC) and ENET Society (Employment, Network, Education and Training Society). As the services and memberships of these two associations converged, their boards and members voted to create a single, stronger, and more dynamic professional association for career and employment professionals in British Columbia. BCCDA is the result.
