🤫 The secret that shouldn't be...

Ever wish your years of hands-on experience could finally count toward an official diploma or attestation? It can. It’s called RAC (reconnaissance des acquis et des compétences, in French), and many people don’t even know it exists.

We recently teamed up with Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ) to chat all about it on their podcast. Our guidance counsellor, Sylvie Piché, joined VEQ's Susanna Tang and RAC graduate Bonita to share how the process works in real life and how it can help you land your dream job or your new career!
