My journey as a Placement Advisor at Humber College has allowed me to wear many hats, from career consulting to employment guidance. Helping students recognize and reach their highest potential is my mission. I do this by providing top-notch training, facilitating meaningful experiences, and sharing personal stories to connect with them on a deeper level. Witnessing their growth and witnessing the positive changes they create in their lives and the world around them brings me immense joy.
My Role at Humber
As a Placement Advisor, I have the incredible opportunity to design, develop, and deliver workshops that equip students with essential skills for their careers. It’s a constant process of assessing the evolving needs of our diverse student community and tailoring workshops to meet their specific goals and targets.
Marketing programs and collaborating with community agencies are also part of my role, allowing me to make valuable connections for our students. The best part is interviewing clients to assess their suitability and readiness for program participation. Watching them succeed on their journey is truly rewarding.
Valuable skills
When it comes to helping students on their career paths, my skills come into play. Some of the most valuable skills I impart to my students include:
1. Building Powerful Resumes: Together, we craft resumes that effectively showcase their strengths and accomplishments.
2. Networking Tactfully: Networking is vital, and I ensure students have the tools to build valuable connections in their chosen fields.
3. Learning How to Ace Interviews: Through mock interviews and valuable tips, I help students gain confidence in facing interviews effectively.
4. Crafting Powerful Personal Statements: Personal advocacy is crucial, and I assist students in creating compelling statements that make them stand out.
Recognition and Success
Now, let me share with you a moment of immense pride and celebration! On September 17, 2022, I had the honor of representing the Longo Faculty of Business at Humber College and receiving the prestigious Community Ambassador Award from Landed for Success at their annual Business Expo. The Landed for Success community is an incredible platform where professionals come together to network, learn, collaborate, meet investors, acquire new skills, and expand their businesses on a global scale.
Through continuous networking and collaboration with the “Landed for Success” community, I’ve been able to secure numerous successful Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities for our students at Humber College. It was truly heartening to see seventeen students from our college attend the Expo, and I’m absolutely thrilled to share that twelve of them have already secured their WIL Experiences for the Fall semester. These opportunities encompass a diverse range of fields, including marketing, social media support, customer service, content creation, and digital marketing.
Seeing our students flourish and seize these valuable experiences has been a rewarding experience. Their dedication and enthusiasm are a testament to their potential, and I couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments.
As I continue to represent Humber College and the Longo Faculty of Business at such enriching events, my commitment to empowering students towards success only grows stronger. The support and encouragement from the “Landed for Success” community have been invaluable, and I’m excited about the future collaborations that await.
