    When clients are unmotivated, resistant, feeling stuck or afraid, what tools can  career development professionals use to spark change? 

    Join the WCDA in our statewide virtual workshop hosted by our Central chapter as we learn about the core principles of the Motivational Interviewing process; review practical application of strategic skills; and build confidence in applying key tools that help clients take action in their career development. This event is free to all members and non-members!

    Continuing Education contact hours are granted through the National Career Development Association. Certificates of completion are free to members; non-members are invited to receive them for $10, or free with new membership ($25). There's no better time to join the WCDA!
