Tailwind
Tailwind at Northern College
About Tailwind
Tailwind aims to connect all current and prospective Northern College students with the proactive preparatory support they need to thrive at the college level.
- Experience-driven: The team has 20+ combined years of experience working in university recruitment, student success, career counselling, academic advising, social work, financial advising, therapy, and coaching.
- Student-informed and driven: Tailwind’s program, community, communications materials, and peer support counselling models are all co-inspired by past and current post-secondary students. We have a student advisory board of 10 students from across Canada who inform the development of everything we do
- Data and trend-driven: We have embedded feedback systems throughout our resources and products to allow for continuous improvement that helps our proactive support systems to be relevant.
- Built by Partnerships: We’ve partnered with both York and TMU’s Social Work Schools, whereby we have designed our programs and services in collaboration with their faculty.
