- Develop professional interests by joining one of CERIC’s advisory committees
- Have an article published in the peer-reviewed Canadian Journal of Career Development, the pre-eminent open access academic journal dedicated to multi-sectoral career development in Canada and around the world
- Write for the CareerWise / OrientAction website, featuring the top career news and views, and the possibility to be displayed in the weekly newsletter
