Every two years, Compétences Québec organizes the Skills Competition in Trades and Technologies (also known as the Vocational Olympiads). This event highlights young people who choose to qualify in Vocational Training Centres and CEGEPs in Quebec. It is the largest Quebec competition for professional and technical trades and allows the winners to represent Quebec at the Canadian Olympiads, then at the WorldSkills Competition, which brings together 75 countries around the world under the WorldSkills International banner.
For students, the event enables them to promote their professional or technical choice, go beyond the usual educational framework, offer them time so that they can express their passion for their specialized profession, allow them to surpass themselves and increase their confidence and self-esteem… and have fun!
