The aim of this program is to increase the number of English speakers (or bilingual speakers), who are living in the Montérégie region, to choose careers in the Health and Social Services Sector.

We do this by working in partnership with the CISSS-Montérégie Centre, post secondary institutions and secondary schools to promote Health and Social Services career options. We provide career videos, do presentations/workshops in schools, create documentation about health careers and hold activities to help students find their career path, choose a program of study, and then finally, work in the Montérégie region, thereby providing much needed health service in the English language.

If you are a person who enjoys helping others, learning new skills, and staying up to date on evolving medical trends, treatments, and discoveries, a career in the health and social services sector might be just what you are looking for!

  • good working conditions
