The Washington Career Development Association’s 4th annual PDI is only one month away! We’re very excited about this affordable and local event, which will feature Dr. Brian Hutchinson, who will lead an interactive presentation on the intersection of social justice and career development work. Career Work is Justice Work places professional career services practice (career counseling, coaching, social work, human resources, and vocational psychology) at the nexus of career intervention and social justice. Broken into 3 sections, PDI attendees will participate in the following sections:
Section 1: This interactive workshop/ discussion will explore the ideas of social justice as they are embedded in the work we do. Participants will learn about the neuroscience behind justice ideas, how these apply to the world of work, and develop a conceptual framework for applying justice principles to your practice;
Section 2: Justice Work in Action will provide participants 3 individual interventions that foster justice and critical conciseness in practice – each intervention will be demonstrated/ practiced and then reflected upon by the group; and
Section 3 will foster participants’ own development within the paradigm of justice work including one individual and one experiential group work activity.
The event will also feature breakout sessions on relevant topics including pay discrimination, working with employers to promote equitable hiring practices, and advocating for/with clients with intellectual disabilities. For more information, please visit https://mywcda.org/event-3235989
