Workshops - Academic Success
Our 8 modules are primarily aimed at students experiencing a major transition—whether from high school to CEGEP or university, or returning to school after a break. They were designed to strengthen essential skills that are often overlooked but are nevertheless crucial to success. They cover topics such as learning how to learn, organizing yourself effectively, taking care of your well-being, adapting to the post-secondary environment, using artificial intelligence ethically, communicating better both orally and in writing, writing different types of texts, and preparing to enter the job market. Each module includes interactive, practical workshops tailored to the learners' realities, using a human and motivating approach that promotes autonomy and confidence.
