A reputation recovery project is underway at the College. This will be used as an opportunity
to enhance the excellent relationship Fanshawe has with many community partners and
patrons. The College has had a ground-swell of support from alumni, community leaders
and others to leverage the recent March 17 th incident in a way that will reposition the College
as the exceptional College that it is - with a solid and proven reputation for being a leader in
the Canadian educational landscape. Strategies and tactics will be co-ordinated in the
coming year to ensure the College’s partners are aware of the value Fanshawe brings to its
community, both locally and around the world.
Counselling and Accessibility Services in partnership with Career, Co-operative Education
and Community Employment Services and LEADS Employment Services will develop and
implement specialized transition to employment services including job development
opportunities for students with disabilities. This will include offering a joint training
opportunity for employment consultants and community partners focused on the specialized
employment transition needs of students with disabilities. To lead this new initiative, a joint
committee will be created with membership from all partners.
Career, Co-operative Education and Community Employment Services will focus on a
number of initiatives to engage with employers and community partners with the goals of
promoting graduate employment and meeting the needs of our communities’ labour market.
Partnering with academic schools and Marketing and Corporate Communications, Career,
Co-operative Education and Community Employment Services will host a series of employer
open houses arranged by the economic sector to highlight the quality of the College’s
programs, faculty, staff, students, and learning environments. Collaborating with Strategy
and Planning, the LEDC and other community partners, Career, Co-operative Education and
Community Employment Services will develop and implement a strategy to gather labour
market information in a consistent and on-going fashion. Career, Co-operative Education
and Community Employment Services will continue working with its many community
partner agencies and employers, building positive working relationships in support of those
in our community seeking new careers.
The College will work with other educational institutes, community agencies, and cultural
groups on a plan for working together to establish London as an education hub for
international students. Areas for exploration include marketing and recruitment, support for
students and joint activities.
