Career Development Professionals (CDPs) work with people from many different backgrounds, experiences, and comfort levels with technology. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools become more common in job search and career development, many practitioners are looking for practical, easy-to-use ways to support clients while keeping the process personal, ethical, and client-centred.

This three-part webinar series was created for front-line practitioners, career counsellors, job developers, case managers, career coaches, and others supporting job seekers. Each session focuses on practical, real-life client situations and demonstrates ways AI tools can support different stages of the job search process in ethical and meaningful ways.

The live webinars will include demonstrations, client examples, practical tips, and take-home resources. The series focuses mainly on free AI tools, with a few optional demonstrations of paid tools for more advanced tasks.

Participants will receive:

• A take-home cheat sheet for each session
• Access to a supporting prompt library
• Practical tools and ideas that can be immediately applied with clients
