EMP-Holland Codes Workshop

Not sure what do for a dream career? Looking for a change in your humdrum job? Then start here! Holland Codes is a fun, fast-paced interactive workshop that takes you on a journey into careers that you display an interest in. After a short questionnaire that will be completed online, you’ll  learn what the codes reveal about  how your education and skills measure up to the demands of their career goals.

The Holland Codes is a system to classify jobs into job categories, interest clusters, or work personality environments. In the Holland Model, these categories represent work personalities.

This is often the starting point for career planning and self-exploration. In this fun, interactive online workshop, participants will learn about career preferences and have a chance to explore their “work personalities.” Come learn if you are:

  • Realistic – “Do-er”
  • Investigative – “Thinker”
  • Artistic – “Creator”
  • Social – “Helper”
  • Enterprising – “Persuader”
  • Conventional – “Organizer”

And how these designations can help point you in the right direction!

This workshop run from 1-3pm. For more information contact Carter at [email protected]

Seizures at Work Focus Group – Part 2

This time, we are looking for employers in Recruitment / Human Resources to share their opinions and experiences.

We’re putting together a small focus group to chat about some recent data we’ve gathered regarding employees who’ve had seizures at work. We’re interested in hearing your thoughts from a Human Resources perspective. We’ll be diving into themes like communication, accommodations, responses, and some interesting trends we’ve noticed. This isn’t about policies or legal stuff—it’s all about sharing ideas and experiences and the bigger picture. Your input will help us figure out how to better support employees who experience a seizure at work. We’d love for you to join us and share your thoughts!

The information collected will help us in putting together videos on the best practices in the event a person has a seizure at work. This is meant to be a just-in-time resource for employees and employers alike.

For more information or to be a part of this Focus Group, please contact Jesse at [email protected].

This Seizures at Work Focus Group is facilitated by Epilepsy Toronto’s Employment Services Department. We hope you can join us!
