​Saskatchewan Career Development Association
About Us​

History

The SKCDA was formed in 2015 to fill a need in Saskatchewan for a common hub to connect Career Development Practitioners working in diverse locations and sectors (e.g., education, non-profit, business, government) throughout the province.
  • In 2015, Charlene McLean, Susan McKay, Lidija Spasic and Jennifer Broughton spearheaded an initiative that resulted in formally establishing an inclusive members association for Career Development Practitioners in Saskatchewan.
  • In addition to providing a support network for those in the field, establishing a provincial association opened the door to joining the Canadian Council for Career Development (CCCD),​ the national umbrella group and voice of Career Development associations and partner groups across the country.
  • The Saskatchewan Career Development Association, Inc. (SKCDA) was established as a non-profit corporation on July 23, 2015,
​
First Meetings & Committees
  • The First General Meeting (GM) was held on April 8, 2016 at the University of Regina’s Career Centre, with remote access for members to participate from around the province.
  • During 2016, three more GMs were held, to continue activities for early organizational development.
  • The First Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on December 16, 2016 in two locations (YWCA Saskatoon and the University of Regina Career Centre), with remote access provided by teleconference.
  • Both on-site locations, along with teleconference and/or Zoom technologies, have been utilized since this time in order to make every SKCDA meeting accessible to all Members.

​Into the Future
  • The SKCDA invites new Members to join and contribute to the development of a productive and useful association for Career Development Practitioners.
