PRESIDENT'S WELCOME

Welcome to the Pennsylvania Career Development Association. We offer high quality, accessible, affordable professional development and networking opportunities to career services practitioners in outplacement, talent development, higher ed, K-12, workforce development, private practice, public/private agencies, and NFP settings.

Check out our new video featuring members talking about why PACDA matters:

PACDA’s strategic focus in 2024 is on member value enhancement (membership growth, exceptional programming, and expanded resources). We remain committed to:

Diversity in membership/presenters along every dimension: geography, age, gender, orientation, ethnicity, religion, etc.
Delivering positive value to career practitioners throughout PA, border communities, and, for virtual offerings, nationwide.
Responding to constituent needs.

By enabling robust interactions, deepened relationships, and impactful programs, PACDA continues to magnify the significant positive impact its members have on career services delivery to individuals and their families, communities, colleagues, and employers.

President, PACDA
