The Advancement of Career Counsellor Education in Canada

Abstract

What skills and knowledge does a person need to practice in the field of career development? What type and extent of education or training best prepares someone to work in the field? These are questions that most professions can answer. The development of national and international documents outlining competencies required for work in the field have made inroads in answering the first question. But the question of how one is best educated to work in the field in Canada is less easily answered.
