IPS Program

This program offers psycho-educational workshops focusing on acquiring multiple skills, cognitive and interpersonal, aiming at developing, to the maximum, the potential of each participant in regard to professional integration which also included a training (stage) at the City of Pierrefonds (public library and civil engineering) and at the West Island Emergency Funds. Trainings (stages) are used to implement, in a practical way, the newly acquired skills of the psycho-educational workshops. They are also viewed as the corner stone of the program since it allows us to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each individual who is immersed in a context similar to employment
