Career development professionals (CDPs) are uniquely positioned to generate insights that shape evidence-based practice. Yet many hesitate to call their work “research” or assume publishing is reserved for “academics.” This webinar reframes research as a natural extension of reflective practice and ethical inquiry. Participants will explore how everyday client interactions, program evaluations, and curriculum innovations can be transformed into publishable contributions to the field. Examine pathways to publication through peer-reviewed journals, sector newsletters, conference proceedings, and more. Whether you're curious about publishing for the first time or looking to elevate your impact, this session will equip you to share your voice and shape the future of career development.
