Karae White, owner of Morgan Ebbett Career Services in Courtenay, is the 2009 winner of the BC Career Development Award of Excellence, which honours inspirational leadership and excellence in career development.Three Awards are given each year by the Career Management Association of BC; for a Team, Organization and Individual; Karae is this year’s recipient for the Individual category. One only has to look at her extensive portfolio to see that she is more than worthy of this accolade.
She started her own business five years ago after many successful years as a Career Advisor with the Job Shop (CEAS) in Courtenay. Her clients range from military personnel who are making the transition to civilian employment and online clients living as far afield as New York and Turkey, to local entrepreneurs, business organizations and clients with special needs.
Living in the Valley for more than 15 years, Karae has gained huge respect not only for her professional skills but for her service to the community. Testimonials from clients point out her commitment and her compassion, her determination to ensure that those she helps will find not only a job or career but fulfilment in what they do. “Karae passionately believes that life is too short for the wrong job.” She has been and continues to be a source of inspiration to all those she comes into contact with – through business and her extensive volunteer work.
Karae’s ethos extends to her own career. A constant student of job development she is always looking to both learn and teach new strategies through workshops, certification and further education. Not content with a Bachelor degree in Education, she completed an eCareer Coach Certificate, enabling her to provide career services online.
Karae is delighted at this recognition of her work, “It was powerful and a bit surprising to sit back and look at what I have accomplished during 15 years of honing my skills in one career. I tend to put my head down and go hard until whatever I have set my sights on is done.”
