• Free online access to the Canadian Journal of Career Development. Sample articles include:
  • Employees' Perceptions of Repatriation

• The Learning section allows the user to customize the search vehicle by sorts, such as by region, categories, and dates.
• Networking live chats hosted by Contact Point related to specific users or followup chats about articles in the Bulletin, hosted online by the authors.
• Job Bank, a searchable listing of current jobs available in the field. Talent Bank contains a list of candidates who have posted a summary of their work experience and skillsets.
