For Career Counselors & Consultants
The Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) and Whole Person Model are critical resources for providing quality career counseling services. The HAB is a standardized assessment in aptitude testing developed under a rigorous process to ensure accurate results. The Whole Person Model empowers clients to realize the relevance of their natural abilities and life experiences to their career development and provides a rock solid foundation for lifelong consideration of career options.
21st century career development facilitators must equip themselves with the relevant tools needed to guide their clients—young people, adults, and retirees—as they navigate their careers in a time when the global marketplace is changing so dramatically.
A personal vision focused on self-awareness is more crucial now than ever as the guiding light on a dimly lit journey.
Other career and abilities assessments fail to take into account the whole person. Only Highlands provides the complete set of tools so you can confidently counsel your clients towards greater clarity, adaptability, and ownership throughout their careers.
How the HAB Can Improve Your Practice
The Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) provides the most comprehensive and accurate assessment of natural abilities. The in-depth, customized reports that are generated upon every test completion provide a wealth of information that can unlock the potential within every client. As part of the certification process, you will be trained on how to interpret the results of the HAB and how to most effectively share those results with your clients.
