Learning French is a challenge for many linguistic minorities in Québec. Given the growing primacy of French in the province, learning French is increasingly a priority for individuals who face French-language barriers and seek to participate in broader Québec society and the labour market. Previous research by the Provincial Employment Roundtable has explored Québec’s adult French-language training ecosystem in order to understand the availability and accessibility of programs in the province. This research demonstrated that Québec’s adult French-language training framework is a patchwork of programs with varying availability and costs, as well as significant barriers to access for individuals depending on their regional location, immigration status, and employment status, among other eligibility criteria.
