Leone Whitfield
Career Coach (High Level & Area)
Career Coaches work closely with school-based counselling teams to create opportunities for students to be exposed to a variety of careers, explore their interests, engage in relevant courses and experience work placements as they pertain to career paths.
Coaches provide a number of services from classroom presentations to ongoing discussions with individual students about their career needs, interests, and goals. Students can receive help to develop a high school plan that creates opportunity and in turn, individual success.
A few of the things an FVSD Career Coach can help with:
- encourage self-assessment and career research through My Blueprint and other tools,
- provide opportunities for students to be exposed to a wide range of occupations and career clusters as well as post-secondary institutions and programs,
- work with students to develop a high school plan that aligns with the requirements of a high school diploma (or certificate) and with their future aspirations,
- provide information and coordinate applications, orientations, and textbooks for dual credit courses,
- coach students in researching post-secondary programs and through the application process.
