“The field of career counselling brings a lot of challenges. The clientele I work with are mainly adults from all horizons (newcomers, native-born Quebecers, Canadians, etc.). This nourishes a beautiful complexity throughout the intervention.

AFC Holland is a wonderful psychometric tool. The results allow the client to confirm their own perception, which is very positive in the exploration trajectory. This validation of one’s professional identity, which is very unclear at the beginning of the process, has been observed to contribute to positive outcomes (better self-understanding of one’s experience and trajectory). The comments received from clients are always positive. They really feel like the evaluation reflects their profile. This is a powerful leverage tool to open vocational exploration horizons. Moreover, its visual aspect makes it user-friendly, and the clients appreciate the reading. It also enables to develop a better understanding of trades and occupations by matching them with the RIASEC profile.

I can confirm that I have confidence in the tool’s reliability and validity. The psychometrist takes great care to ensure that practitioners understand the tool and constantly updates its psychometric properties. I strongly recommend using this assessment to promote better and more effective career guidance.”
