This program follows the Center for Credentialing and Education guidelines:

GCDFs help people meet career goals by providing career facilitation and guidance. Our GCDF graduates often are able to make significant contributions working alongside other professionals, some with more extensive training, in government employment agencies, schools, universities, corporate human resources departments, private consultancy firms, and many other settings.

GCDFs complete at least 120 hours of training based on a curriculum infused with general and country-specific activities. Additionally, GCDFs must demonstrate that they engage in continuing education activities to remain abreast of current information in the career development field.

Upon successful completion of the training, participants will:

• Understand the history, scope, ethics, and theory of Employment Counseling, Career Exploration, and Workforce Development.
• Become familiar with the varied roles of Employment & Career Development Facilitators and Coaches.
• Have proven they understand the 12 GCDF competencies.
• Have all questions answered on assembling their GCDF applications?
