Career Education Society of BC
Fall Conference - Nov. 2nd & 3rd, 2026 Westin Bayshore Hotel, Vancouver
This year’s theme, Careers by Design, reflects a forward-thinking approach to career education—one that empowers educators and students to intentionally design pathways that are meaningful, flexible, and responsive to a changing world of work.
Careers by Design is not only about designing pathways for students—it’s also about sustaining the educators who make that work possible.

2026 KEYNOTE SPEAKER - Leyton Schnellert
Dr. Leyton Schnellert is an Associate Professor in UBC’s Department of Curriculum & Pedagogy and Co-Director of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship. His scholarship attends to how teachers and teaching and learners and learning can mindfully embrace student diversity and inclusive education. Dr. Schnellert is the Pedagogy and Participation research cluster lead in UBC’s Institute for Community Engaged Research (ICER) and co-chair of BC’s Rural Education Advisory. His community-based collaborative work contributes a counterargument to top-down approaches that operate from deficit models, instead drawing from communities’ funds of knowledge to build participatory, place-conscious, and culturally sustaining practices. Dr. Schnellert has been a middle and secondary school classroom teacher and a learning resource teacher K-12. His books, films, and research articles are widely referenced in local, national, and international contexts.
