Edmonton, Canada, November 03, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Psychometrics Canada, a leading assessment publisher and consultant for the development and selection of people in business, government and education, today announced dates for its complete 2018 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) training programs (http://www.psychometrics.com/en-us/training.htm). This year, workshops are being offered in new locations across Canada, and include a variety of fresh 1-day MBTI Master Class Series workshops. The highly interactive MBTI Certification program empowers human resource, organizational development, career counseling, and learning and development professionals to make a positive impact on individuals, teams, and leaders with the help of the most versatile and widely used personality assessment in the world.

“The demand for our training programs is increasing throughout Canada. In response to customer requests we are offering workshops in Saskatoon and Montreal in 2018,” says Mark Fitzsimmons, President of Psychometrics Canada. “The popularity of our Master Class workshops has also spurred the creation of two new workshops this year: Using Type to Increase Organizational Effectiveness and Career Paths - Personality Type and Career Direction.”

Program participants are extremely satisfied with the MBTI Certification program; 9 out of 10 of them say they would recommend the program to a friend or colleague.*

“Increasing numbers of Canadian companies are using personality type to improve productivity and retention of their workforces through improved leadership, team performance, conflict resolution and employee engagement,” says Shawn Bakker, Registered Psychologist at Psychometrics Canada.
