I am checking out open positions and I have recently visited a CEGEP (John Abbott College) to inform myself, about how this system works. It was extremely interesting and I had a lot of questions, which were answered patiently.<\/p>\n
CEPGEP (College d’enseignement general et professionnel) is a Quebec speciality and is a mandatory 2-year “college”, before entering university. The curriculum consists of the last year of high-school and the first year of university including several advanced courses recognized at university level, so students with a DEC degree from CEGEP skip the first university year. Attendance is not mandatory and the atmosphere is very university like, although students are younger. There is also a strong carreer advice component. CEGEPs also offer 3-year programmes in engineering and other technical fields and graduates usually start working straight away. CEGEP teachers are eligible for federal and provincial research grants.<\/p>\n
The atmosphere was very friendly and open. They do not have a suitable open position for now, but I will keep my eyes peeled.<\/p>\n
