The YMCA has pioneered career counselling and personal development in Canada for over 75 years. We use a unique combination of assessment tools and counselling to help you better understand yourself and guide you in making changes in your life, or in choosing a meaningful career. Recognized self-report assessments and other tools are administered to explore your aptitudes, personality, strengths, values and interests. We follow up with interpretation meetings, and provide you with reports and counselling sessions to explore patterns identified and to increase your self-awareness as you set your professional and life goals.
Whether you are looking to develop personally or excel in your career, we have a program or package that's right for you.
Get the direction you need to reach your personal and professional goals through assessments and counselling.
