Transitions Career & Business Consultants Inc.

Transitions Career & Business Consultants Inc. is a professional,
community based organization assisting organizations and
individuals with the management of career and business
transitions. In operation in Vancouver since 1993, Transitions
has served numerous organizations, from non-profits to
manufacturers, unions, and high tech companies, in dealing with
workforce transitions and layoffs. Through these services, as
well as publicly funded career transition programs, we have
assisted over 3000 individuals in reassessing their careers,
seeking new employment, entering re-training programs, and
starting new businesses. We have been able to accomplish these
results through a wide range of professional group and individual
career services offered in-house by Transitions' staff, as well
as referrals to a broad network of community based programs,
services, and agencies offering career & self-employment related
services.

Our mission is to provide professional services, customized to
each client's specific needs, within the context of a caring
community - service offered with a personal touch. Clients
accessing our in-house services regularly comment on the level of
comfort they feel with our staff when visiting our office
locations. This level of personal care and attention also extends
to our corporate clients as we deliver services on-site and as we
collaborate with them in designing customized consulting or
career transition service packages.
