Support Services for Our Students and Where to Find Them

Synopsis

Wednesday, January 29th, 1:00pm-4:00pm

Course Overview

Participants in this workshop will work as a group to explore student needs and how College services support the success of our students. Although this workshop is largely experiential, it also includes a review of the current research examining barriers to success among Canadian postsecondary students. Through an interactive exercise, participants will learn how to identify, understand, and effectively refer students to a broad range of Algonquin services; each of which is designed to help students overcome a common challenge to post-secondary success.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have had the opportunity to:
  • Explore the most common hurdles faced by students
  • Investigate initiatives and services available to help students overcome those hurdles
  • Better understand how to effectively connect students, or coach other employees on how to connect students with those services.
