Career Development Facilitator (CDF) Training

The term "career development facilitator" is a title that is used by people who work in different career jobs and settings that impact the careers of others.  The term has actually been around for more than 20 years, but only recently, as the job market has gone global and become increasingly more complex, has there been a real need for people who understand the basics of career development.

CDFs are educators, employment and workforce professionals.  The opportunities are vast and the credential is internationally recognized and promoted through the National Career Development Association (NCDA).

In South Carolina, the Education and Economic Development Act resulted in the mandate for CDFs in both middle and high schools by next school year.  Many other states are following the same model.  The goal is to have career centers within every school to assist our students in developing career goals for life after high school.
