THE LEARNING CLINIC EDUCATION CENTRE
The central core of
the new initiatives is the Learning
Clinic Education Centre. This is best described as a combination
“virtual shopping centre” and “reference library”. It has
been constructed to provide more awareness of education and career
development resources that are available to students, parents, and
educators of the Greater Sudbury Area.
It will contain relevant reference links to educational material as
well as articles, editorials and commentaries that will inspire,
motivate, and inform. The site will provide insight into major
issues and trends that are influencing the field of education and
career development today and in the future.
Most importantly, the Learning Clinic Education Centre will provide
complete profiles of businesses, professionals, and institutions
that provide goods and/or services which may be useful in helping
students and parents achieve their education and career development
goals. There will even be a special section where businesses and
professionals will be listing goods and services that they are
making available at special discounts to students, parents and
educators.
THE
LEARNING CLINIC EDUCATION FORUM
The Learning Clinic Education Forum will consist of
video and audio pod casts as well as web site editorial
references and links designed to help students, educators,
parents and grandparents achieve their education, training and
career development goals. This information will be accessed in
a number of ways, including but not limited to the following:
-

96.7 FM from Laurentian University;
-
Corporate
profiles, editorials, articles and other information

their particular industry or sector and to offer advice and
recommendations with respect to relevant career opportunities.
Each individual guest will be on-air for

Robert Kirwan has extended an open invitation
to anyone in the community who has something to share about his/her
industry, career or public service to be his guest on the show. He
intends to have up to three different guests each week in order to
provide listeners with a broad spectrum of topics and information.

career development.
OUR
GOAL IS TO INCREASE AWARENESS AMONG STUDENTS, PARENTS &
GRANDPARENTS
Our main
objective is to use the Learning Clinic Education Forum and the
Learning Clinic Education Centre to help reduce some of the stress
being felt by students and their parents by giving them a better
understanding of some of the issues, trends and challenges that are
being faced in the areas of education, training and career
development. The more parents understand what is happening in
education and career development today the better equipped they will
be to help their children make important choices that will affect
their entire future. It has been said that “you are always only
one choice away from changing your life”. We want to help students
and parents make a choice that will result in positive change that
will help them achieve success in a career that is best suited to
their talents and passion.
The program
being instituted by The Learning Clinic allows
students, teachers, parents and grandparents to have access to
valuable and useful information that is provided by experts from the
community. It is our belief that communication is the key in order
for people of all ages and all walks of life to have the opportunity
to achieve their education and career development goals.
SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES ARE NOW AVAILABLE
We are
absolutely convinced that the best way we can help students,
parents, grandparents, guardians and educators is to help them
become more aware of the businesses, professionals and institutions
that provide goods and services which may in some way help them
achieve their education and career development goals.
We have now begun the process of
assembling as much information as possible about the goods and
services that are available to students, parents and educators which
will help them achieve their education, training and career
development goals. Our mission is to help you make parents more
aware of how your particular goods and/or services might be of use
to them in helping their children experience success in their
education and in their career development. We have developed a plan
of action that will not only enable you to increase general
awareness of your goods and/or services, but will also enhance your
position in the community as an expert in your field.
