Going to a vocational centre in Canada can provide students the chance to build practical skills that will prepare them for a successful future in an in-demand career. Let's take a look at the top reasons to choose vocational studies:
1. Program diversity & skill building
Québec’s industry-rich environment makes it a great place to start vocational training. You will be able to choose from a wide range of courses - taking classes that improve your current skills in a field that you already know, or starting over with a program that introduces you to an entirely new industry. Students learn from industry professionals in fields like business, construction, design, and beauty care, gaining practical skills through hands-on learning.
2. Affordable tuition & flexible schedule
Students can greatly benefit from lower tuition costs, as going to a vocational centre can be more cost-effective than going to university or college. One reason for this is the length of the programs offered - as a student in vocational centres, you can complete your studies much faster, typically within a few years.
3. High employability upon graduation
One of the top reasons to start vocational studies is the high employability rate. The post-graduate employability placements at Lester B. Pearson’s diploma of vocational studies programs average 80%, promoting quick employment. These programs fulfill the 1800-hour requirement, which allows students to receive a post-graduate work permit and continue with the provincial immigration program.
