Student Success Story

“I value the opportunity that Fanshawe College Continuing Education has allowed me to continue my professional growth in my current role - to be the best I can be today.  The benefits of knowledge transfer and application of new techniques was immediate within my workplace for both my staff team as well as my peers.  

The flexibility of blended online and in-class sessions afforded me the ability to manage a full time job, a family, and continue my education.  It made for a great balancing act.

The level of expertise of the professors and their openness to reach out and draw from the real experiences of their students was invaluable – everyone became the teacher at one point along the way.   It was an atmosphere of comradery, coaching and learning." - Angie,Human Resource Management Student
