Abstract

The Canadian career development sector has worked for decades to enhance the professionalization of career development professionals, with such projects as the original standards and guidelines (S&Gs) launched in 2001. However, to reflect and guide current practice, extensive updates and a new approach were needed. Through research, consultation, development, and validation, the Pan-Canadian Competency Framework for Career Development Professionals, the National Competency Profile for Career Development Professionals, and the Code of Ethics for Career Development Professionals were created. In examining the process of this comprehensive project, Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) ecological systems theory offers a conceptual framework for understanding the complex interconnected systems impacting the sector. Then Kouzes and Posner’s (2003, 2012) five exemplary practices of leadership are applied to explore the actions and behaviours that created purposeful spaces where practitioners, subject matter experts, and theorists could collectively and authentically work together to accomplish extraordinary tasks.

加拿大职业发展部门的专业化：回顾分析

几十年来，加拿大职业发展部门一直在努力提高职业发展专业人员的专业化水平，如 2001 年推出的最初标准和指南（S&Gs）等项目。然而，为了反映和指导当前的实践，需要进行广泛的更新和采用新的方法。通过研究、咨询、开发和验证，《泛加拿大职业发展专业人员能力框架》、《国家职业发展专业人员能力简介》和《职业发展专业人员职业道德准则》应运而生。在研究这一综合项目的过程中，布朗芬布伦纳（1979 年）的生态系统论为理解影响该部门的复杂的相互关联系统提供了一个概念框架。然后，运用库兹斯和波斯纳（2003 年，2012 年）的五项领导力典范实践，探讨了创造有目的空间的行动和行为，在这些空间中，从业人员、主题专家和理论家可以共同、真实地合作，完成非凡的任务。
