The CDI Cymru Wales Professional Careers Education and Guidance Forum

We have been running a CDI Cymru Wales Professional Careers Education and Guidance Forum three times a year 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:

• Acting as the Professional Voice for the sector
• Sharing Best Practice and Research, and
• Enhancing Quality, Professionalism and Workforce Development
