About Us
About Us
Our expertise has been gained on the front lines of the career development field.
We have experienced the challenges of limited resources, short timelines, and the need to create new ways to equip clients to navigate the work world. Along the way, we have cultivated the belief that learning is the core of success with clients and the practitioners who serve them.
What we want you to know about us
We are leaders.
As subject matter experts, we continue to strengthen the Career Development sector’s ecosystem through training, consulting, and resources. We are invited to share our knowledge in career conferences and work with national and international governments to leverage career services for the health and well-being of their communities.
We are educators at heart.
Through the years, we’ve confirmed our belief that a learning approach to career services is the foundation of effective practice. A client’s potential for a successful outcome is increased when they are given the opportunity to reflect and make meaning of their career planning process.
We are innovators.
Research and development has always been an essential part of our work. We are committed to developing future-oriented career development service models to adapt to the changing labour market and to ensure that all individuals can navigate toward their preferred future.

A BRIEF VERSION OF A LONG STORY
-
Our Roots
MixtMode was created by a core group of career practitioners at Training Innovations, a career services agency in British Columbia, Canada. For 25 years, we ran various provincial and federal government-funded career services. Training Innovations (Tii) was known throughout the sector for excellence in programming and client service. In 2005, we created and facilitated the first-ever online career planning program to accommodate the geographically disparate communities of Vancouver's North Shore. Since the inception of this program, we continued to incorporate information and communication technology into most of our client services - what we call ‘multimodal career service’.
