Description: Hidden Credits: How Recognition of Prior Learning Fuels CCDP Career Journeys
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) makes the invisible visible, turning the lived and professional experiences of Career Development Practitioners into recognized competencies that support certification and continued growth. Within the CCDP program, RPL plays a vital role in helping practitioners map their knowledge, skills, and experience to national standards, transforming what they’ve already accomplished into formal recognition and career advancement.
As Canada’s career landscape evolves amid rapid economic change, RPL offers more than a pathway to certification. It is a framework for lifelong learning. This session explores how CCDPs can leverage RPL not only to achieve certification but also to maintain and expand it through meaningful, self-directed professional development. Together, we will explore how recognizing experience fuels confidence, competence, and career mobility in an ever-shifting world of work.
