The CDI Cymru Wales Professional Careers Education and Guidance Forum

We have been running a quarterly CDI Cymru Wales Professional Careers Education and Guidance Forum since its inaugural meeting in January 2018.

Aimed at senior representatives and practitioners across the career development sector, the focus of the Forum is based on three distinct pillars:

1. Acting as the Professional Voice for the sector
2. Sharing Best Practice and Research, and
3. Enhancing Quality, Professionalism and Workforce Development
