DETAILS
The Compass Program helps local youth discover future career and educational paths. English and French speaking youth ages 12 to 30, who are transitioning into postsecondary education, seeking employment, or want to return to adult education, are able to meet with our Compass coordinators to develop a practical, pragmatic and realistic path to pursue personal success.
PROGRAM COORDINATOR
Compass participants can schedule one-on-one meetings for the following:
1
Continue your education
Application support for CEGEP, university or vocational training programs
To request assistance with any other logistical barriers (transportation, living arrangements, etc.)
A coordinator is present at the High School Tutoring Program to support those looking for summer jobs, applying for post-secondary education or just trying to figure out what to do after high school.
2
Find career opportunities
Research and identify jobs that would be of interest
Add your details to our job seekers bank (hyperlinked to the landing page)

3
Find training opportunities to improve your qualifications
We help Stanstead youth who are not in school or who are far from the job market overcome the numerous barriers they face. Through individual meetings we support our participants to:

Are you a local employer?
We work closely with local employers to support their employment needs by referring qualified youth and/or provide training to potential employees.
