About Us

Destiny Career Planners  was officially registered as a company by Karen Smith-Hanney in 2001.  The initial goal was to provide specialized career coaching for clients  working towards a career in fire fighting or policing. We have continued to keep up to date with various fire service and law enforcement recruitments to provide key information to clients so they can improve their performance and increase their chances of getting a job offer.

Destiny Career Planners has become the leader in providing career coaching to clients from throughout BC and Calgary and Edmonton.
