The responsibility for making career decisions is entirely yours. Your Career Development Facilitator can only be your guide, as you take this very important journey.

What should I expect from a Career Development Facilitator?
The role of a Career Development Facilitator (CDF), in its most simple form, is to encourage, coach and/or act as a facilitator
of a client’s self-reflection, decision making and planning. While counselors or therapists deal with a patient’s mental/emotional conditions and/or past circumstances or trauma, a life coach never addresses such issues. A CDF works with clients to assess current life circumstances and make plans for change toward future goals. Career coaches and clients work together in developing career plans. A Career Development Facilitator can stimulate your thinking, ask important career planning questions to help clarify goals, provide encouragement, teach you strategies for making meaningful career decisions, and help you plan your job search.
