Student Coaching
Career Path.
Making informed and smart decisions regarding post-secondary education is critical for high-school aged students. As Canada’s population matures; our economy also changes with it. These changes translate to emerging employment requiring deeper education and more directed expertise than that of many professions of the past.
Latitude44 is pleased to offer career path assessment tools, supported through personalized coaching services. The intention is to augment and expand upon, current available Guidance Department offerings. This customized program offers an online assessment tool to assist in isolating career strengths, facilitated with one-on-one coaching. As with all of our services, we provide a safe environment in which to explore ideas and discuss various options with an unbiased yet encouraging coach. The overall goal of the career path process is for students to identify 1-3 viable fields of study and gain a strong understanding of job/career potential within.
Specific objectives include:
- Improved focus regarding interests, so as to align with natural preferred style and abilities
- Generating tangible career options that speak to these innate drivers
- Identifying goals, steps and career direction to support agreed-upon educational aspirations
