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.Presenter 2: Elizabeth Nicholas, Virtual Employment &amp; Education Specialist, Trenton Military Family Resource CentreDescription: From Experience to Evidence: How RPL Elevates Career DevelopmentThe field of Career Development is evolving, and so are the expectations of the clients we serve.
