Adapting to the realities and values of the Québec job market

As you search for a job, you will try out new approaches and use services that may be very different from those you are familiar with.

You may need help and guidance to facilitate your transition and adaptation to the job market, to understand the mechanisms, rules, values and cultural codes and how the job market works. See also A few characteristics and values of the Québec job market

This guidance will also help you find out about the vocational and technical training offered in Québec and to prepare you to properly use public employment services.
