ABOUT AHNIKO HANDFORD
Welcome, Believing all human beings have the right to gratifying employment best suited to their skills and gifts, I help my clients explore “good-fit” career options, and to take proactive steps towards their job goals. Having transitioned from twenty years in the Information Technology sector into Career Development, I am no stranger to the “What comes next and how do I get there?” question! I initially completed my Rhetoric and Communication degree (Gen.), and subsequently decided to specialize in the field of Career Development. I then took my Career Development Practitioner\'s certificate, followed by my Career and Employment Coach, and Practical Workshop Facilitation Skills certificates. As a seasoned Career Development Professional and Employment Specialist with broad experience ranging from assisting at-risk youth, to helping new Canadians seek employment, counselling individuals in mid-life transition, to supporting clients in vocational rehabilitation, I have always found joy in building inspired relationships with my clients while assisting in their job search. My experience and certificates include: Job search skills; resume writing, interview preparation, accessing the hidden job market Labour Market Research Career Exploration Career Counselling for Diverse Populations Motivational Interviewing Certified in Professional Workshop Facilitation What do I love about this work? I love walking the journey of self-discovery with my clients, as they come to understand and value their own unique package of skills, experience, and aptitudes. I take great delight in celebrating with them the joy of newly discovered career possibilities! Further, I believe Manitoban Career Development professionals could serve our clients and each other best from a central resource and information sharing hub. To that end, we established the provincial Manitoba Association for Career Development (MACD).
