This program describes the results of a research project that evaluated the only certification program in the field of career counseling in Romania: Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF). GCDF is founded on the paraprofessional certification program developed in 1997 by the Center for Credentialing of Education within the federally funded project initiated by NCDA, NOICC, and the Career Development Training Institute at Oakland University. As of winter 2011, there are 17,610 GCDFs in 14 countries. The current research project is the first validation study of GCDF.
