CCIA Career Decision-Making Model


Kathy Harris (Jobmatics) and Susan Bloom (Toronto District School Board) in their role as the 'grandmothers' of career information and founding members of the Canadian Career Information Association (CCIA) developed a three-foci career decision-making model.


The more I use this model, the more I value it as a way of "seeing the bigger picture" (known for burrowing into the details) integrating resources and topics and clients' concerns.

The Career & Employment Specialist certificate (C&EIS) training is offered through ONESTEP in Ontario. For information about locations, dates, pricing, see the ONESTEP web site and/or contact Lorraine Katanik, project manager.

CEISs?

CEIS represents "career and employment information specialist". As a career consultant whose practice is primarily "train-the-trainer" focused, I thought it would be fun to share the tidbits that cross my 'desk' with others. Furthermore, I get to learn first-hand the joys and tribulations (few of the latter I hope) in blogging.

I also anticipate that this may be a place where people can pose questions and share resources.
