The CDI is the new single UK-wide professional organisation for all working in all fields of career education; career information, advice and guidance; career coaching and career consultancy. It has brought together four associations in order to give a single voice to the profession and ensure a sound networking approach between practitioners, inspire confidence in those who seek help in moving into and through their working life and provide support to members in the delivery of high quality career development services. Working together the new body will present a strong and united front, influencing government policy and lobbying on behalf of members.
