The Canadian Council for Career Development (3CD) is excited to make Canada Career Month a reality once again this year. In November 2017, Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast will come together to advance the agenda on meaningful connections to the labour force. At a time when new careers and pathways are emerging, technology is disrupting traditional industries, and groups like millennials and baby boomers are making challenging transitions, Canada Career Month will host a national discussion in local communities about the future of employment in our country.
The Canadian Council for Career Development (3CD) is a self-initiated and self-funded umbrella group for Career Development associations and related partner groups from across Canada. Our platinum sponsor for Canada Career Month is ChatterHigh whose mission is to have every student in the country talking about their future. The organization supports a national dialogue on career opportunities and pathways by hosting discussions and running national competitions that highlight education, training opportunities, and career options to youth from coast-to-coast-to-coast! ChatterHigh’s tools empower students and teachers. They foster lasting connections with post-secondary institutions and growing industries. ChatterHigh believes that fun and games build a better community because really, who doesn’t want fun and games? ChatterHigh provides opportunities for teachers to network with each other in fun class-to class ChatterHigh Challenges to determine who has the Most Informed Class. ChatterHigh encourages students to have fun with career-learning. It allows them to earn points, badges and rankings that they can display on their personal dashboard. Schools can compete for major cash prizes in regional and national Most Informed School Competitions. ChatterHigh also offers its partners a variety of opportunities to participate in challenges and competitions.
