Providing health care and social services to the English-speaking population of Quebec in English is a responsibility of the Quebec Government. Le Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise engaged Dialogue McGill, a part of the Institute for Health and Social Policy at McGill University, to look for ways to improve access to these services, as well to increase the retention of graduates of relevant programs at English Colleges in Quebec. Dialogue McGill contracted John Abbott College to carry out research on opinions of current students to determine their plans for location of work once they complete their studies, the reasons that influenced their choice of where to locate after graduation and the factors that could persuade them to work in a region of Quebec outside of the Census Metropolitan Area of Montreal (Montreal CMA). Work on fulfilling this contract began in 2017. It had various stages and involved the efforts of a number of people. This report only deals with the final stage, which was to survey students in various health and social career programs at English Colleges in Quebec over a two-year period.
