Quebec Education Degrees & Training

Curriculum, Secondary, and Primary Education Degrees in Quebec

Quebec: bilingual schools, top universities and job opportunities

Quebec province boasts a combination of stunning natural scenery, rich history and culture, as well as two of Canada's most vibrant cities, Quebec City and Montreal.

Career colleges and universities

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada is a good source of information about many Canadian colleges. Some of the top schools in the province include the following three:

  1. McGill University, called "Canada's Harvard," has a student body that's about 20 percent international.
  2. Quebec Tourism and Hotel Institute trains and researches hotel, tourism and food service industries.
  3. Rosemount Technology Center teaches computer graphics, cabinetmaking and many other specialties.

Other career and technical schools abound in major cities and smaller towns.

To study in Canada you need a study permit or temporary resident visa. Typical tuition ranges from $13,000 to $16,000 for international students. Canadian dollars are worth roughly the same as U.S. dollars. Choose from English, French and bilingual schools.

After graduation

Quebec offers international students a fast-track to citizenship, provided they are approved by the federal government and can speak French. Many Quebec schools offer remedial French classes specifically for international students.

Demand for many occupations should increase rapidly, including jobs in manufacturing, service occupations and health care. Many of these fields require only a post-secondary certificate, not a college degree.

Top industries in Quebec include forestry and its related businesses, mining, and energy. The median annual family income in Quebec was $75,000 in 2009, above the median for Canada.

What Are Career Prospects Like For People With An Education Degree?
In a word: excellent. The Bureau of Labor calculates that education is the largest industry sector in employment terms. It is also predicted to grow by 26.4% between 2002 and 2012 according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook (a Bureau of Labor publication). This is due, in part, to the shortage of teachers and also the fact that many are reaching retirement age or leaving the profession for other reasons. This combined with the baby boom means that opportunities in education are widespread. You may find that training requirements vary widely when seeking employment at different educational establishments. You might need to be accredited in your State, so make sure you check with your college.

What Will I Learn During My Education Degree Training Courses?
Your Education degree courses may include educational theory, curriculum design, student development and presentation skills. If you are interested in teaching a particular subject you will generally be required to have previous industry experience and/or a degree in that subject already. Good written and verbal communication skills are essential as are reasonable levels of math and an ability to explain concepts in a number of different ways. You might find the virtues of patience and good time management pretty useful too!
