 A Forum for Policy Makers,
Career and
Workforce Specialists and Employers
November 17– 18, 2003
Toronto, Ontario
The Canadian Career Development Foundation
(CCDF) is organizing, Working Connections, a pan-Canadian
Symposium to bring together individuals
whose research, work, policies, hiring and training practices
influence the career aspirations,
directions and labour force participation of the learner/worker.
The goal is to help build shared viewpoints, expectations and actions concerning
research, policies and practices which contribute to
lifelong learning and career and workforce development. BCCIP
is taking a lead role in supporting and helping
to coordinate BC's participation in the pan-Canadian Symposium
