Career Agencies

Explore how we can support your organization

We’ve walked your path and have used our experience to support many agencies to create a new normal amid the changes and pressures of funding cycles, new project launches, and internal reorganization. We offer support in professional and organizational development.

The one constant in the delivery of career services is that we are always changing, creating, and adapting. Based on labour market, immigration, and employer needs, the work we engage in is constantly evolving.

  • Leaders in the career development sector need a combination of leadership, management, and practice skills to perform their roles. We understand the behind-the-scenes of career and employment services and know how important it is to support leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to guide a team. Let's create a training and competency development plan to grow the long-term capacity of your organization.

  • Our sector is not strange to significant system changes that shift the essence of an organization’s operations. We can help you create a blueprint for managing the changes within your organization and engage your team in productive change conversations. Supporting your Practitioners to navigate their own feelings of uncertainty is essential to continue providing quality services and being positive role models in clients’ lives.

  • Funders and clients are demanding creative, hybrid delivery models. For over 20 years, we have designed and developed multimodal services to meet varying career learning needs. Let's brainstorm and consider what an integrated delivery model could look like in your organization.

  • Career agencies often seek our support in moments of transition. New policies, systems, services, processes, internal restructuring – we can’t underestimate how these all affect people. Navigating change can be a challenging time for staff when they face the pressure to continue delivering high-quality service to clients while being flexible to the new ways of doing their jobs. We offer a range of training topics, such as, career development practice, navigating change and transition, delivering multimodal career services, and leadership. Training can be online, on site, or a blended solution to meet the specific needs of your organization.

THE PROCESS

Our process begins with a needs assessment to ensure we understand your overarching goals.

We then discuss options for consultation service or training delivery. We offer online, on-site, or blended training to accommodate your needs and preferences. For any online training, we use a learning management system that offers 24/7 central access to materials and resources. This provides your team with an opportunity to engage with the learning in a convenient time and space. We develop a detailed proposal that meets your budget and scheduling requirements.

Once approved, our team of experienced trainers and consultants creates a work plan and coordinates with your project lead to finalize the details of the delivery of service. If applicable, we generate periodic reporting to keep the project on track, as well as evaluate trends, risks, and progress.
