Why choose a trade?
- Career-focused education: Vocational programs train students to be work-force ready. Students in vocational training do not take electives or general education courses. They focus on industry-related education.
- Cost-effective training: Vocational programs are hands-on and skill-based. This focused education results in lower costs and less time. Our programs are 100% tuition free for Quebec residents. Students pay only a registration fee, and the cost of books, materials and/or tools.
- Employment opportunities: With an ever-increasing demand for qualified skilled workers, students can move directly from the classroom to the workforce. Salaries for some trades are comparable to university graduates’ salaries!
- Continued learning opportunities: Graduates can continue their education in their vocation through continued training in Vocational or CEGEP-level courses.
