Professional career development services for individuals.
The YMCA’s Career Planning Services have been helping individuals for over 65 years discover themselves and what career direction is best for them. We help people establish career goals by focusing on their natural strengths and abilities. State of the art career assessments (interests, aptitudes, personality) and one-to-one counselling sessions provide a personalized approach to career development.
