Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - Occupational Profile Model

FocusFit worked with the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) to develop a model and standard occupational profile for assessing and developing managerial and leadership candidates in the Ontario region.

Through research, meetings, interviews and focus groups FocusFit developed a standard profile for leadership candidates. The profile included 15 skill/competency categories with descriptions and behavioural indicators. CSC executives commented that the profile was exceptionally well written and well adapted to CSC’s particular needs. Using this profile FocusFit then administered a web-based survey designed to assist candidates in identifying strengths and developmental opportunities.


“Working with us to develop a model and standard occupational profile for assessing and developing managerial and leadership candidates, FocusFit produced a profile which included 15 skill/competency categories with descriptions and behavioural indicators. Throughout this entire project, FocusFit stayed fully connected to our vision and particular needs while developing an exceptionally well written, well adapted profile. FocusFit’s ability to quickly understand our organization, our priorities and our specific needs was the fundamental success factor, in my opinion. Through a combination of research, meetings, interviews and focus groups FocusFit was able to deliver tangible results to CSC.”
