A very special guest!

MONTREAL – During the last edition of the Education Fair in October 2007, we had the pleasure to welcome the Minister of the Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale du Québec, Mr. Sam Hamad. The Minister took advantage of this opportunity to visit the Government of Quebec Place, a not-to-be-missed section of the Fair since its beginning in 1996.

In an interview to the reporter Nicolas Deslauriers for Les Réussites du Québec broadcast at Canal Savoir, Mr. Hamad mentioned how much impressed he was with all the people attending the fairs to gather information on trades and to access employment opportunities. He also underlined the importance of the matching between the two fairs distinctive concepts: The youth who are exploring their career options at the Education Fair and the adults in job search process at the Training Career Fair.

The video clip of this interview is now available online on our website homepage (in French only).

Parents Place

MONTREAL – Amongst all resources available to help youth with their career exploration, it is recognized that parents play the most influential role. Yet, they might not feel they are the most well-prepared and well-equipped to face this challenge. This is why we have decided to give parents a special place at the Fair this year.

The day of Saturday, October 18, 2008, will be dedicated specially to parents and their teens. Special activities, workshops and conferences will be on the schedule to give parents concrete tools to support them in their guidance role with their teens. The schedule of this special day will be posted on the website of the Education Fair in the coming months. It will also be promoted through our general public advertising campaign in order to invite parents to visit the Montreal Education Fair 2008 with their teens. Stay tuned!
