Centre de formation en montage de lignes
Centre de services scolaire des Navigateurs
The Centre de formation en montage de lignes encourages achievement and perseverance among the women studying in traditionally male programs leading to a construction trade or occupation. This year, the centre has distinguished itself for its actions that have had an immediate effect on enrolment by women in training.
By creating a video explaining the challenges of the physical tests, the centre aims to encourage women to prepare properly. In addition, its mentorship supports women on their path from training to job integration, while being adapted to the needs identified by current women students.
A winning partnership
The CCQ is always so proud of its ongoing relationship with the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur as part of the Hats off to you! competition, which shines the spotlight on female role models and institutions with a positive influence on women and men in the construction industry.
The CCQ wishes to congratulate the three winners as well as the female students and educational institutions who applied. Thank you for your exemplary dedication—you are great role models and sources of inspiration!
