Book Description

At it’s core, Fanshawe College is committed to helping students develop skills valued by Canadian employers.  Throughout the text, you will find direct and indirect reference to the 7 Job Skills for the Future to help make connections between these skills and what they are learning in this class.

The SOAR model will be used throughout this book to guide students as they Self-Assess their current their strengths and weaknesses, identify Opportunities to improve, create an Action plan and then record and Reflect on how to implement their plan to achieve success.

Each chapter will follow the SOAR pattern but it’s important to recognize that SOAR is not a linear model.  It should be viewed as a continuous improvement cycle.  After reflecting on what they have learned, students can reassess where they are, to identify what opportunities come next, and make any necessary adjustments to their action plan.
