Our team

Mobilising stakeholders

Take professors from the five universities that offer the bachelor of vocational education, put them around a table, mobilise their respective expertise, the force of their convictions, and their commitment to Voc. Ed., then add a few cups of coffee… and you get the Observatoire de la formation professionnelle du Québec!

These professors have chosen to help each other and to pool their best resources to further initial training of vocational education teachers as well as their proficiency training. They are joined by vocational education stakeholders from all over Québec, teachers, vocational education centre directors, academic advisors and business people.

Here are the people who believe in the power of collaboration!
