Thank you for your interest in submitting an Abstract for CDANZ National Symposium 2016: Our Value, Our Voice. This event is CDANZ signature event for research and leading practice in career development. The Symposium is held in partnership with Ara Institute of Canterbury
on 3 & 4 October in Christchurch. Please read the following information before proceeding.
PRESENTATION CRITERIA
The Symposium Committee will select sixteen abstracts. Each will be allocated 40 minutes presentation time. Presentations will be programmed across four concurrent sessions. In your abstract you may wish to propose research, practice, topics or workshops presented by an individual or a group. We welcome a slide based presentation, or an integrated workshop. If you are selected, the committee may also connect presentations in a panel discussion.
The committee are seeking a balanced programme that prioritises research and leading practice that reflects on the theme “Our Value, Our Voice,” and that is relevant to one or more of CDANZ workstreams:
• Education/Transition – in schools, tertiary and transition to work
• Organisational Development – within corporates, NGOs and government
• Vocational Rehabilitation and supported employment
• Private Practice
REQUIRED SUBMISSION INFORMATION
• Name, contact information, and organisational affiliation/s for each confirmed presenter.
• Selection of:
1. Focus (research or leading practice)
2. Format (e.g. Power Point)
3. Relevant workstream/s
• Proposal titles, descriptions, and abstracts.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
Selectors will consider, does the proposal:
• Strengthen Understanding of Theory and/or Practice for those who practise, study, and teach in the career development space?
• Engage with the ‘So What?’ question to extend the research and practice knowledge into the realm of application implications, or new research questions? Does this content further the reach and curiosity of its target audience?
• Enlighten, and provide insights that extend thinking into new ideas, data, models, tools, theories, or resources? If the presentation involves original research or scholarship, will it build upon or challenge existing research and theory?
• Invite Multiple Viewpoints in a manner that will engage scholars and practitioners? Will this presentation invite diverse interests in career theory and practice?
• Demonstrate Quality? How well has the proposal been crafted to meet the overall Symposium theme/intent?
• Provide balance to the overall Symposium programme
