Our members work in diverse settings; government-funded employment programs, community-based non-profits, private employment service firms, post-secondary institutions, corporate environments, and beyond. Together, they represent the heart of our region’s career development sector.

At WestCanCDA, we support our members through:

Professional development and learning opportunities tailored to real-world needs, including webinars, workshops, and events designed to support continuous learning and the ongoing maintenance of the national Certified Career Development Professional (CCDP®) designation.

Networking and community building to foster collaboration, peer learning, and a sense of belonging among career development professionals across Western Canada.

Events and conferences, including the region’s leading annual Western Canada Career Development Conference, where practitioners gather to exchange ideas, explore trends, and strengthen their professional practice.

Advocacy and sector representation, helping amplify the value and impact of career development with employers, funders, policymakers, and the broader public.

While many of our offerings align with CCDP® maintenance requirements, they are equally valuable for professionals across the field who are committed to growing their impact and staying current with emerging practices.

By joining WestCanCDA, you’re not just accessing valuable resources, you’re becoming part of a community that champions the profession and the impact it makes on individuals, organizations, and society.

Let’s grow the future of work—together.
