Title
Employment in the Québec Regions : Needs Assessment Study
Abstract
The current needs assessment was developed with the vision of understanding the socioeconomic conditions of seven Quebec regions examined by this study, namely, Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Capitale-Nationale, Chaudière-Appalaches, Estrie, Montérégie, Côte-Nord and Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The study also involved conducting an inventory of job search and employment-related services in these seven Québec regions, and identifying the needs of English-speaking job seekers residing in the regions. The intent of this study is to inform the development of timely, evidence-based English-language employment services and career supports in the regions, ultimately leading to increased economic opportunities and stability for English-speaking youth (aged 16-35) in Québec. A related goal is to increase awareness of English-language employment services and supports available to job seekers in the Québec regions.
