Beyond the Basics: Real World Skills for Career Practitioners

It has over 100 pages of tips and techniques for working with diverse clients including individuals, groups, corporations and communities, and is linked to the Canadian National Standards and Guidelines for Career Development.

Culture-Infused Counselling

As our Understanding Diverse Clients course starts today, we'd like to share resource we've found quite helpful: Culture-Infused Counselling: Celebrating the Canadian Mosaic by Nancy Arthur and Sandra Collins (2005).

This book "attempt[s] to provide students and practitioners alike with a comprehensive resource that adds a Canadian perspective to a predominantly American body of literature." (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_7482/is_200701/ai_n32220836/)
