Developing a Toolbox to Ensure the Safety of Trainees/Interns in Accordance with Legal Requirements
Quebec’s post-secondary institutions must now comply with the requirements imposed on employers with respect to trainees/interns, even in international settings. This raises various validation-related issues, particularly when it comes to ensuring that all internship/training environments meet these requirements. What if some environments are not in compliance? Will opportunities currently available to students be eliminated? This project studies […]
Promoting Inclusive and Visible Mobility
The “Promoting Inclusive and Visible Mobility” project enhances the visibility of the CEGEP’s mobility projects involving the target groups.

In so doing, the CEGEP ensures that project-related promotional materials have […]
Inclusive Mobility Bursary Program
In connection with this project, the CEGEP sets up an international mobility bursary program geared towards students experiencing one or more types of marginalization (i.e. an inclusive mobility bursary program). Bursaries are primarily aimed at reducing financial constraints, while also assisting international mobility candidates in situations of disability, whether visible or invisible.43
Developing a More International Education Framework

Student mobility in projects contributing to the SDGs: program innovations to facilitate implementation
In 1966, the Université de Sherbrooke was the first institution in Quebec to introduce the co-op system, with thousands of internships carried out annually, the majority of which are in Canada. Despite the existence of programs that enable outgoing mobility, the strong presence of co-op programs typical of UdeS, combined with the presence of programs […]
