Audrey Stechynsky Scholarship

Stu Conger Award for Leadership

Audrey Stechynsky was a true leader and innovator in the field of career development. Her work continues to permeate CCDF’s work. Thanks to her generous bequeath, we are able to present an annual scholarship of up to 3,000.00 to a post-secondary student whose research project pushes innovation in the field of career development.

If you are or know of a post-secondary student whose innovative research in career development has the potential to influence and advance its understanding and practice, then please consider applying. Applications are due Sept. 30.

A game changer in the truest sense, Stu was the key instigator in establishing and directing the Canadian Career Development Foundation in the early 1990’s. He continued to provide
leadership in career development nationally and internationally well into his 80s. The career and employment programs and services available to Canadians today are in no small measure a result of the vision, determination and bold thinking of Stu.

Since 1997, CCDF has awarded the Stu Conger Award for Leadership to individuals nominated by peers for leadership contributions to the field. This award honours his vision and leadership.

The nomination deadline for the Stu Conger award is September 30.
