Joining a community of interest group is a great way to make the most of virtual networking; communicating with members with particular interests or specialism, to share ideas, resources and examples of best practice.
To join any of the Community of Interest LinkedIn groups, you must be signed up and logged in to your LinkedIn account, and you must first join the Career Development Institute LinkedIn Group.
Do you advise those who are considering entry to Higher Education, or looking at other post-18 options? If so, then we would like to invite you to join the CDI HE Advisers’ Community of Interest. Membership is open to anyone who works with this cohort, be it in a school, college, university or other setting.

- offering support and information for those wishing to engage in research
- providing a forum for those actively engaged in research
- enhancing the ways that research topics and findings are included in CDI publications and CPD materials
- drafting initial responses on career research issues on behalf of CDI
- engagement with international research initiatives in the career development field.
