HISTORY AND RECENT CHANGES

First-line employment services (intake & evaluation, academic & vocational information, employment counselling, guidance, computer access & documentation center, placement) were offered at the CDEC from 1994 through 2003. Since 2003 these services have been restructured in accordance with our new agreement with Emploi-Québec.

Please take note that as of April 1, 2005, no first line service to CDN/NDG residents in the area of employability is provided. Persons desiring information, services, or resources should contact the CLE CDN, 6655 Côte-des-Neiges, telephone (514) 872-6530.

The services available at the CDEC are :

• Development : coordination of the Table de concertation des organismes en employabilité (Employment Round Table) of CDN/NDG and collaboration with borough agencies around employment issues;

• Local Initiatives : support to community agencies in the development of short-term employment projects eligible for the BIL fund, as well as followup; and

• Group Workshop : the Skills Assessment Workshop, a one-week career objective exploration workshop offered to job searchers.

Additional information on these services is available in the pages that follow.

Contact person is Marie-Pierre Arseneault(Development, Local Initiatives and Group Workshop).
