Why I find myself working in Indigenous Education is my belief in the opportunities Indigenous people can create with an Education. Education can truly be a Life Changer for many of our people. Yes, there could be struggles with navigating this education system, but you have a team of Indigenous educators who are willing to support you through your entire education journey at Fanshawe. Believe and See yourself in any job, role and career you desire. We need more Indigenous people in all areas of employment, this is how we can create change we wish to see.
