ENDOWMENT PROGRAM: BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE


The Canadian Career Development Foundation (CCDF) and the Canadian Counselling and Psy- chotherapy Association (CCPA) are pleased to sponsor and endowment program established to stimulate and support innovation in the field of career development.


A career program at Ontario’s Fleming Col- lege is helping people in the communities of Peterborough and Haliburton gain new insights into their career interests and val- ues—but the participants aren’t your aver- age college crowd.


Deadline for submissions is October 31st.


“Our main audience is older workers aged 50 to 64,” explains Tammy Jinkerson, op- erations and training co-ordinator with the college’s department of Community Re- sources for Employers and Workers. “These are highly skilled people, many with higher education. We’ve had teachers, six-figure earners, people with master’s degrees.”

There is no provision for completing and submit- ting your proposal online.


This fund is intended to promote imaginative and leading edge initiatives that extend our under- standing of critical issues, push the envelope and strengthen our practice, offer new and creative approaches to service delivery and career self- management, and contribute to improved quality of life in Canadian communities.


Each year, CCDF will award up to $7,500 to a proj- ect, or projects that demonstrate potential for the advancement of career development.
