Learn by doing

Fanshawe College programs are geared to learning by doing. You gain confidence by working with professors experienced in the industry who know what it takes to succeed.

 

Co-op experience

By competitively obtaining co-op employment, you learn job-seeking skills. Through work experience, you increase technical knowledge, skills and understanding and gain self-confidence. Many students are offered full-time positions with their co-op employers after graduation.

Apprenticeship training

Fanshawe offers the in-school component for construction skilled trades programs: Cabinet Maker, General Carpenter, Industrial Woodworker and Plumber. While on the job working for an employer willing to train you, you will be supervised by a qualified tradesperson. In the classroom, you will study theory and learn to apply your skills to practical assignments.
