Meet Geoff Lawson.

Geoff Lawson (he/him)

Geoff Lawson joined Career Solutions 5 years ago and has assisted more than 1000 students and families to sort out confident career goals and plans for moving forward academically and experientially. Before joining Career Solutions, he worked at the University of Waterloo’s Centre for Career Action, helping thousands of students from pre-first term to post-doctoral study plan their career and education futures.

Geoff’s route to Career Solutions was anything but conventional. As an unenthusiastic and underperforming high school student, he struggled to move forward beyond secondary school. It was in the transitional Arts and Science program at Sheridan College that he truly began his academic journey. This program provided the academic skills and confidence that supported his success in completing Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees. Developing career goals and a confident plan were essential to Geoff’s and any student’s success.

Geoff knows that his story is not unique and he especially enjoys helping uninspired and underperforming students find their way to a future they can believe in. He understands their challenges and perspectives and excels at working with students who are confused and lost and need to be “found”.

“Geoff was a paramount help to me in discovering who I was and recognizing my strengths. I spent my first year of university helpless and lost about what career path I was going to choose, unsure of where I would go with the undeclared Bachelor of Arts degree I was in. Geoff guided me in finding a direction in my studies and was very clear and concise with laying out my options... His services have been life-changing for me, and I couldn’t recommend him enough.”
