In an exclusive interview with She & Success Business Magazine, Lisa Taylor, Founder & CEO of Challenge Factory, unpacks a challenge many organizations are still underestimating: career development is often happening everywhere – but connecting nowhere.

That’s where the playbook Internal Career Centres comes in. Written by Taryn Blanchard, Sheila Rider and Lisa Taylor, this practical resource helps organizations make career development more coherent, visible and effective.

Rather than adding another program, Taylor describes internal career centres as workforce infrastructure – a way to connect existing investments so they actually work together. When aligned, they make career pathways visible, strengthen internal mobility and help organizations better match talent development with business needs.

What happens to strong candidates who aren't selected for a role? Too often, organizations let those relationships end there.

In a recent conversation with Shane Hewitt, Dr. Candy Ho highlighted the importance of building meaningful connections with people – not just relying on AI or transactional hiring processes. For employers, this means thinking beyond individual job postings and taking a more intentional approach to talent development and engagement.

That's where Internal Career Centres come in.

Written by Taryn Blanchard, Sheila Rider and Lisa Taylor, CERIC's new resource, Internal Career Centres, is a practical playbook for organizations seeking to make career development more coherent, visible and effective. It offers a framework for connecting learning, mobility and talent initiatives to better support employee growth and organizational success.

⭐️ Career development grows when organizations invest in people and relationships.
