C. Progress Towards Achieving Board Ends and College Strategic Directions
C.2 Student Success (Policy A-35) (cont’d)
To strengthen support for student learning, Library and Media Services (LMS) staff will
expand the provision of in-class and open sessions of Research 101 and Statistics 101 and
create more electronic library guides specific to programs, subjects and life/workplace skills.
Staff will also create more “how to” podcasts and increase the use of social media tools to
enhance student engagement and learning support. LMS will also provide more assistance
for international students, students with disabilities, mature students returning to school and
others who may need additional support in accessing electronic and other resources and in
finding the most relevant information for their research and assignments.
To support students as they explore and prepare for employment opportunities, Career
Services in partnership with the Fanshawe Student Union will launch innovative employment
services such as a newly launched Career Café, an open forum for students to discuss
career goals, preparation and services available to support them, and “after hours”
workshops in our Residences called Career Corner. Career Services will also introduce
online resume software and online, interactive career consulting. In response to increased
student requests for service, Career Services will also add Career Consultant staffing to
focus on the employment preparation needs of international students and those with
disabilities.
Co-operative Education will add a Student Services Consultant and additional clerical
support to meet increasing demands for service. The Consultant will provide on-campus
service for students and employers, ensuring timely service and allowing other Co-op
Consultants additional time to conduct outreach and employer marketing, thereby increasing
student opportunities for employment success.
In collaboration with the Fanshawe International Centre, Career, Co-operative Education
and Community Services will develop online resources for international students pursuing
employment opportunities. Resources will include information about on-campus jobs, work
and placement visa regulations, Canadian employment protocols, and completing Canadian
job applications.
In support of further internationalization of student learning, the International Centre will
partner with academic schools to increase the opportunities for student exchanges and
other international learning opportunities for students.
C.3 Meeting Labour Market Needs (Policy A-40)
C.3.1 Support strategic growth in current and new markets, both domestic and
international
The School of Language and Liberal Studies has initiated outreach to various First Nations
community members for input on the development and delivery of a joint-venture, First
Nations Diploma program. Discussion with Western University is underway to formalize a
credit transfer articulation for students wishing to pursue studies there. The goal of the
program is to provide essential employability skills and academic upgrading in the
framework of an Aboriginal world-view, focusing on traditional First Nations teachings and
off-site learning opportunities.
