Depart@9

For people between the ages of 15 and 29 years old living in the territories of the cities of LeMoyne, Saint-Lambert and Greenfield Park, and who are neither employed nor in school.

Depart@9 is a personalized program that allows you to set a socio-professional goal that reflects your reality and your needs. It promotes integration and retention in the job market, or return and retention in school, depending on what suits you.

We work with you to develop a personalized action plan that respects your rhythm and your limits. The program includes individual sessions and group activities*, such as visits to employers, training centers or schools, internships, and activities that will allow you to explore your interests and skills in order to make an informed choice towards your goal; all this over a six-month period.

We are continuously recruiting and you may also benefit from a financial allowance for your active participation in Depart@9.
