Discover My Holland Code

Everyone’s career journey starts with understanding ourselves first!

Holland codes, otherwise known as the RIASEC system, help to categorize people according to their interests so they can be matched with fitting careers. The system was developed by Dr. John L. Holland, an academic scientist and psychologist.

The Holland theory suggests there are six broad areas into which careers can be grouped to describe people, their personalities, interests and preferences.
