2023-24 Nova Scotia Youth Focused ‘Community of Practice’ for Career Development Professionals Concludes

The Centre for Employment Innovation (CEI) wrapped up the 2023-24 Nova Scotia Youth Focused Community of Practice for Career Development Professionals.

A ‘community of practice’ (CoP) is a group of people who come together around a set of shared interests, ideas, challenges, or goals. They share best practices and expertise and lean on the collective knowledge of group members to make space for new learnings and ideas to emerge. Over the past seven years, the CEI has been researching, designing, and facilitating these collaborative spaces as part of its work with various career and employment practitioner groups in Nova Scotia.

The 2023-24 sessions included:

• The Future(s) of Work

• Youth and IT Skills

• Supporting Indigenous Youth

• Youth and Entrepreneurship

• Beyond Decent Work

Youth Volunteerism

• Overlooked and Underprepared

• What’s Happening in Schools

Stay tuned for the 2024-25 calendar of events.
