Career Development and the Future of Work: A Conversation Guide 2nd edition

A Conversation Guide for Employment and Career Professionals




Having future-focused conversations with your team(s) is difficult, especially in uncertain times, but they've never been more important. This is the moment when new systems, structures, and priorities are starting to shape a new Future of Work. There's a wealth of experience, case studies, and wisdom in the employment services and career development sector that urgently needs to be part of the ongoing conversation. And so we invite you-leaders, counsellors, coaches, educators, activators, and trailblazers-to take up a pivotal role in developing, synthesizing, and implementing the ideas that will shape the Future of Work.




This Conversation Guide will lead you and your team, big or small, through a series of activities that challenge you to proactively and collaboratively shape the Future of Work. From the equipment you'll need, to agenda and discussion items, to printable handouts, this Guide will take care of the planning and preparation-so you can focus on having innovative and meaningful conversations. The second edition has also been modified to enable remote delivery during COVID-19 times.
