Asia Pacific Career Development Network 2011: Report

Formation of an Asia Pacific Career Development Network (APCDN)

Communiqué

Context

On Friday 29 April a meeting was held in Cairns Australia to consider the formation of an Asia Pacific Career Development Network (APCDN).

The impetus for this meeting came out of discussions between Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA) and Korean Research Institute for Vocational and Education Training (KRIVET) representatives in Seoul in July 2010 in which it was agreed in principle that an effective regional career development network could potentially make a substantial contribution to career development policy research and practice. It was noted that other formal and informal discussions were reflective of a growing interest in forming an APCDN.

The Career Development Association of Australia (CDAA)/ International Association of Education and Vocational Guidance (IAEVG) conference (26-29 April, 2011) provided an opportunity for a broad range of conference delegates from the region to participate in discussions.

Twenty–three career development researchers, practitioners and policy makers attended the meeting from countries including South Korea, China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. There were several delegates who were unable to attend the meeting but are interested in the formation of an APCDN. These individuals came from India, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand.

Two representatives from international networks were invited speakers at the meeting. Dr Raimo Vuorinen, Coordinator of the European Lifelong Guidance Policy Network (ELGPN) and based in Finland, provided an update on current progress and projects of the ELGPN. IAEVG President and International Centre for Career Development and Public Policy (ICCDPP) Deputy Chair, Lester Oakes from New Zealand provided similar commentary on the Pacific Island Career Development Network.

The meeting was co-chaired by Mr Peter Tatham from CICA and Dr Ji Yeon Lee from KRIVET.

Key Outcomes

Commitment to establish an Asia Pacific Career Development Network.

Agreement that KRIVET and CICA work together to implement the APCDN over the initial three year development cycle of the network.

Agreement that delegates at the meeting provide key contacts of policymakers, researchers and practitioners who may be interested in contributing to the further development of a network

Agreement to contribute information for a regional snapshot and potential policymaker, practitioner and researcher contacts

Next steps

Produce and distribute a meeting communiqué

CICA and KRIVET to prepare protocols for development of the APCDN for distribution and discussion with network members.

To inform all countries in the region and invite participation.

To undertake a scan/snapshot of current career development service programs in each country connected to the network.

Liaise closely with the ICCDPP to ensure coordination of effort and widest possible dissemination of information via its website.
