Confederation College has provided me with the necessary skills that have allowed me to pursue and achieve employment in my chosen field.
My most positive experiences and memories of Confederation College
Being able to pursue my education at home. Family is important, and so is my community. I was able to obtain a quality education without being forced to leave my community, or my region.
My fondest memory
APIWIN Student Services was an important factor allowing me to graduate. Support and recognition through culturally appropriate services was integral to my college experience.
My job & job responsibilities
Case management for families receiving services from the agency I work for, and outside agencies.
My advice to others
With the support of the school community, peers and staff alike, one can be successful.
My sense of the current job market conditions this field of work
Excellent. I achieved full-time employment before the end of the school year, have already turned down a contract, been offered another in a different department, and been asked to apply at two different agencies.
A Personal Success
Because of my involvement both in the school community and the broader community, I was awarded National Aboriginal Day Honouring our Men Award. Without my involvement at school, I don't think this would have happened otherwise.
