F.A.T.S. Knows!
Fanshawe College offers a range of formal career testing and career counselling services free to its current students. Career testing and counselling is helpful if you aren't sure of your career direction, or if you have so many possibilities that you need help to make the best career pick for you. Let's face it, choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you will make. The career planning process can help you save time and money by targeting careers that are a good fit for you.
Career planning involves four steps:
Self-exploration: You'll explore your aptitudes, personality type, and interest areas, using the most well-researched and up-to-date career tests and assessments available.
Interpretation: Experienced career counsellors will explain your test results, so you can become an expert on yourself. With this information, you will begin to map a career path that's right for you.
Investigation: You'll focus on specific job options and, with the help of a career counsellor, you'll conduct job research to learn more about them.
Career Plan: With the help of a counsellor, you'll explore the paths to the career you've chosen, and you'll develop a specific plan to help you reach your goal.
Current Fanshawe College students can access the four-step career testing/ counselling process for free. Simply make an appointment in the Counselling and Student Life Department, F2010. If you're not a current student, you can still take advantage of career testing and counselling, but there's a fee — please call 519-452-4430, ext. 4300 for more information.
