Hope Centred Career Inventory

Developed in 2010 by Niles, Yoon and Amundson – The Hope Centered Career Inventory (HCCI) measures essential competencies for coping with career flow challenges effectively. Career flow refers to the wide range of positive and negative experiences that we encounter at work on a daily basis. The competencies in the HCCI are based on the Hope Centered Model of Career Development (HCMCD).

Hope-Centered Career Development for Internationally Educated Health Professionals

This 2014 project sponsored by Health Canada was led by Amber Clarke with the Saskatchewan Pathways Project in collaboration with Amundson, Niles, and Yoon.  This research was designed to explore the role and impact of hope for immigrants pursuing a pathway back to licensure using the HCCI and Hope Centred Interventions. Researchers found that the HCCI provided a framework for practitioners to discuss topics not usually a part of their support of immigrants seeking professional licensure.  They also observed a strong correlation between hope levels and progression on the path to licensure.
