Career and Employment Coach Certificate (CECC)
The Winnipeg Transition Centre, in partnership with the University of Winnipeg Professional, Applied & Continuing Education, is offering a Career and Employment Coach Certificate (CECC). The CECC will provide workshop participants with intensive, hands-on training that will build and enhance their ability to assist unemployed individuals. To view the program brochure, feel free to follow this link to the website: http://www.winnipegtransitioncentre.com/professional-development/careeremployment-coach-certificate-cecc/ Active Learning Works (ALW) is the professional development training division of the Winnipeg Transition Centre. Since 2001, ALW has trained thousands of professionals and delivered the Career/Employment Coach Certificate (CECC) workshops across Canada, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and most recently, the Northwest Territories. CECC is offered in partnership with the University of Winnipeg Professional, Applied and Continuing Education (PACE) Program and Humber College in Toronto. The CECC Program is comprised of four, 2-day highly interactive modules that include Career Planning, Resume Development, Interview Skills and Job Search Coach workshops. Attendance in all 4 sessions and successful completion of Final Assignments for each module will qualify you to receive the Final CECC from the University of Winnipeg or Humber College. Requests to deliver the training to eclectic or in-house groups in any location is an option as these training sessions are portable. ALW is currently in discussion with the Manitoba Association for Career Development to include the CECC training as part of a peer certification process.

Career Services Survey Invitation
Were you aware that the student to professional staff ratio in career centres across Canada ranges from 1 professional staff member for every 22 students to 1 professional staff member to every 13,191 students? How about that career centres are managing an average of 8 different technology platforms, and that schools in the Atlantic region are the most heavily invested in technology? What about that career centres based in colleges (37.5%) and polytechnics (50%) are significantly more likely to offer academic advising within their centres than ones based in universities (4%)? If you believe that having this type of data would be useful to Canadian career centres as a whole, or interesting to you personally in your role, I wanted to invite you to complete this nationwide survey of career services centres in Canada to gain a better understanding of how career services areas across Canada operate. All survey participants will receive a copy of the Research Brief generated by the data. Due to its comprehensive nature, this survey will take 30 ‑ 45 minutes to complete. You can start the survey and return at a later time to complete it if you prefer ‑ or I can send you the questions in advance as a MS Word document, so you can prepare. Participation is entirely voluntary and you may exit the survey at anytime without submitting your responses for inclusion in the study. You are free to decline to answer any particular question you do not wish to answer for any reason. All responses will be kept confidential, and will not be identified by individual. Responses will be compiled together and analyzed and reported as a group. To participate in this survey, please click one of these links: English: https://ca.surveygizmo.com/s3/50037639/Career-Centre-Benchmarking-Survey-English Français: https://ca.surveygizmo.com/s3/50037639/Career‑Centre‑Benchmarking‑Survey‑French The survey will remain open for participation until about February 15, 2019.
