Is it finally time to choose your college program? Are you wondering about the many options available to you?
The fields of early childhood education and special education offer outstanding job prospects. In response to a workforce shortage that has persisted for several years, the Québec government introduced a program designed to encourage students to choose these essential careers and successfully complete their studies.

Academos has created a fun little quiz (in French only) that might help you discover which program suits you best!
