The CDF offers four credentials, each commensurating with the varying capability and experiences of career professionals.

The four credentials are defined by a set of competencies which are packaged into recommended training courses. Applicants will need to complete the requisite training courses and fulfil practice hours requirements, as a demonstration of the acquired knowledge and application of skills. 

Certified Career Advisor (CCA) - A CCA is able to provide basic career and training advisory (including details on government initiatives e.g. Adapt and Grow, SkillsFuture, etc.) to clients using simple profiling tools in a one-to-one or group setting.

Certified Career Practitioner (CCP) - A CCP is able to apply career development theories and tools to help clients make education, career and training choices through effective one-to-one and group facilitation.

The Workforce Singapore (WSG) Career Development Framework (CDF) is a competency-based credentialing framework for career professionals. It aims to facilitate capability building and enable deeper and broader competency development among career professionals. Additionally, it allows stakeholders in the career development community to uphold professional standards and ethics amongst career professionals.

The CDF is developed by WSG with input from the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) who are key stakeholders in the provision of career services for students and adults respectively. It is aligned to international practices in Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States, and emphasises the practice component undertaken by a career professional. The development of such a framework is timely as the role of career professionals become increasingly important in preparing students for a lifetime of careers, and as the workforce grapple with globalisation, economic restructuring, technological advances, and changing social values and lifestyles.

“As our economy restructures and our workforce adapts, the role of career professionals become important. We must recognise their critical place in helping people successfully transit from one occupation to another, in one industry to the next.”

- Mrs Josephine Teo, Minster for Manpower &

Second Minster for Home Affairs
