Abstract

Greetings from the Editor-in-Chief. To read the full message, please open the PDF link.

I write my first editorial for the Canadian Journal of Career Development (CJCD) with a heaviest of hearts. In May 2024, the field of career development lost one of its greatest champions, Dr. Robert (Rob) Shea. There are no shoes or heart big enough to fill the void he leaves in the lives of his loving family, and all those who were fortunate to know and learn from him. In 1998, as a graduate student interested in pursuing a career in Career Development, Rob agreed to be my co-supervisor for my internship at Memorial University’s Career Centre. Little did I know then the impact that introduction would have on both my career and life.

One of the first things he told me about when we met all those years ago was his vision for Canada’s first and only journal focused on Career Development. He was in the process of developing the original artwork for the cover, talking to different groups about funding, and getting people generally excited about what this could be. It is fitting that in his last editorial in the January 2024, Rob reflected on the Journal’s humble beginnings and stated, “... we began the journal as a field of dreams concept – 'Build it and they will come'” and like so many of Rob’s dreams, - they came true. You did come, and currently there are almost 16,000 subscribers worldwide and new subscribers steadily.
