Previously in our series (here) on how we can stay professionally updated, I talked about the NICEC - National Institute for Career Education and Counselling - journal. So continuing to keep those cost barriers low for improving professional practice, this time we consider an open access publication from Canada - the Canadian Journal of Career Development (CJCD)/Revue Canadienne de Développement de Carrière (RCDC) - created by the Canadian Education and Research in Career Counselling (known colloquially and abbreviationally as CERIC).
CERIC established the bi-lingual journal in 2002, with funding from a range of trans-Canadian organisations to publish "multi-sectoral career-related academic research and best practices from Canada and around the world" (CERIC, 2025c). The journal is firmly both "Canadian and international in scope" (CERIC, 2025b). And, as mentioned, it is open access, and "multi-sectoral, [seeking] articles that deal with career development in its broadest sense. Authors are encouraged to submit articles dealing with career development in the corporate, non-profit, secondary education, post-secondary education and government sectors" (CERIC, 2025b).
And the best thing is that, like the NICEC journal, we can read the CJDC/RCDC online at no cost, in either French or English, and improve our practice knowledge. This too is a wonderful resource for career practitioners around the globe. If you haven't yet had a look at the Canadian journal, check out the home page at https://cjcd-rcdc.ceric.ca/index.php/cjcd, and go here for past issues: https://cjcd-rcdc.ceric.ca/index.php/cjcd/issue/archive. Full issues or individual articles can be downloaded.
