WHY A NEXT GENERATION PROGRAM

The next generation isn’t only recruited. It is built.

Organizations must connect with young people earlier, make their sectors visible and create authentic opportunities for collaboration.  Young people need real and stimulating contexts to understand professions, develop their skills and contribute.

A four-step journey, from the challenge entrusted to a lasting relationship.

  1. Your challenge

    A real question that is strategic for your organization.

  2. Our network

    Youth from primary school to university and education professionals.

  3. The Créativité Qc signature

    All our events are memorable, immersive and human experiences.

  4. What follows

    Transform the experience into learning and lasting impact.

An experience that creates value on both sides

For your organization

  • Introduce your sector and its professions
  • Engage your employees as mentors
  • Gain perspectives from a new generation
  • Strengthen your relationship with the next generation

For the youth

  • Discover a sector from the inside
  • Work on a real challenge
  • Meet professionals from your field
  • Demonstrate their imagination
