Get ready to visit the Fair! This section provides access to specially designed tools to help you think about your goals and interests and to help you follow up after your visit to the fair. Happy exploration!

Before your visit, the questionnaires "What is your profile?" will help you determine, in a few minutes, which profile(s) between the 8 sectors represented in the Info-Career Desk suit the most your personality. Also, for each activity sector, you will find useful references to help you explore this field.

On site, we invite you to meet Guidance Counselors and Academic and Career Advisors.  Those professionals will guide you through the Fair accordingly with YOUR interests. This front-line service is there to help you get the most from your visit at the Fair.

To complement this initial preparation, we invite you to consult the Exhibitor's list posted on our web site and updated regularly. When clicking on them, most of the exhibitor's name will link you to their web site. Exhibitors are also listed by the 8 major activity sectors featured in the Info-Career Desk. By clicking on the different pictograms, you will create different lists of exhibitors regrouping by those sectors. This will facilitate your visit in accordance with your interests. With this list in hand and by consulting the Floor plan, you can make your own itinerary of your visit at the Fair.

Finally, we invite you to visit the section "Useful References" regrouping organizations and web sites providing information in link with the Fair.

All those tools were created to help you prepare your visit and get the most of it.
