This is the event of choice for regional career development professionals to enhance their skills, network with colleagues, recognize outstanding career development professionals, share best practices, and gain continuing education credits.
At this year's PDI, Dr. Brian Hutchison, NCDA board member, will give us a more in-depth view of his work addressing social class and international/social justice issues with a particular focus on issues of career development and counseling. Dr. Hutchison presented on this topic during a breakout session at the NCDA Career Practitioner Institute held in Portland on October 26, 2018. His presentation at our PDI this year will dive deeper, focusing on social justice theory and multiple ways we can apply this knowledge with not only ourselves, but our clients as well.
