Learning & Coaching Session 7: Career Development Practice Incorporates Social Justice Advocacy

Session 7: Career Development Practice Incorporates Social Justice Advocacy

Career practice has a long history of social justice advocacy helping disenfranchised and un- or under-represented groups to find meaningful work or creating opportunities for engagement. Participants will leave inspired to use their professional voice to combat unjust, discriminatory practice and to address sociopolitical challenges.

Join Dr. Roberta Borgen (Neault), CCC, CCDP, GCDF-I, as she introduces eight key practice principles from the 2024 work Practice Principles: Career Theories and Models at Work by Arthur, Borgen, and McMahon. Participants will explore how these principles, rooted in foundational theories, shape career development practice.

You are encouraged to bring a “pain point” or challenge you or your staff are facing. These coaching sessions will help you apply the principles to various career service roles and settings.

This session is the sixth in eight 1-hour online sessions. All sessions are designed to be stand-alone learning and coaching opportunities.
