My products are used by many TAP and Family Service Centers. You will find my Career Development package is exactly what you need for your clients. Whether you are assessing individual clients or in groups, everyone can relate to their findings using the True Colors tools. I usually train the staff for two days during which time they learn to use my Follow Your True Colors products and at the end of the training they are certified as Facilitators. Please contact me for details.   I also do half day and full day workshops custom designed for your staff. 

Many military counselors already know True Colors but may not be  aware of my products and services. In addition to my best selling self-help career book, Follow Your True Colors To The Work You Love, I have two workbooks: True Success for lower reading levels, and my original workbook, The Workbook: Follow Your True Colors To The Work You Love.  Instructor guides are available for each.

 I have created an inexpensive and simplified product for the military, called the Career Pointer, which is described below.  The Navy Fleet & Family Support Center in Rota, Spain and several others have been using my Career Pointer with great success. Many military counselors have attended my sessions at the career development conferences I present at.

At Denver's Arapahoe/Douglas Works! office, one of the largest in Denver, my materials replaced their existing assessment products. They felt that their clients understand the True Colors template and can apply it to their lives. Herb Goldsmith, at Arapahoe/Douglas Works!, said that they found the Career Pointer to be exactly what they needed. Patrick Holwell, an assessment specialist, said "I've looked at every assessment tool available. It was unbelievable how well Carolyn's materials fit our needs."

This is a 12 page 8.5 x 11 inch booklet for use in groups or one-on-one career counseling/coaching.  It is adopted from my book, Follow Your True Colors To The Work You Love.  It is designed to let the user proceed at their own pace and discover their own True Colors. The clients write in this pamphlet and keep a permanent record of their results through this process.  Inside, there is a 21 question assessment where the client ranks the four choices from most like them to the least like them. This assessment is simple and accurate. It has been field tested and in use at the South Bay Workforce Investment Board with CalWorks clients, numerous college students and different military programs.  I've shown a couple of the questions below.

After taking the quiz and ranking themselves, the clients turn to their primary color page and read about themselves. Then they turn to the transferable skills page of their primary color and circle their top five skills. A sample of the Orange skills is shown below.

On the same page as the skills are a list of occupations for their primary color, as shown by the sample below.

The last page ties it all together . It is a summary page where the client records all their results and also has a free form area for their notes.

The Career Pointer is sold in lots of 25.  Order Here.
