Career CAreers & teCHniCAL PrOGrAMs sHOWCAse tuesday ... · tuesday, november 1, 2016, 5:30pm to 8:30pm NEW: An Evening where you can discover the career and university possibilities

Career Programs are normally six semesters or three years in length. There are some exceptions: the Ex-tended Nursing Program can be completed in eight semesters or four years; and some programs offer a fast track, usually for students who have already completed a DCS or an ACS. Career Programs pro-vide graduates with workplace skills and fundamen-tal knowledge to permit them to practice their pro-fession upon graduation.

Cegep Career Programs versus trade schoolsStudents sometimes wonder if studying in a trade school at the high school level would not be better than going to Cegep for three years. But Cegep Ca-reer Programs and trade schools are very different. The prospects for advancement and career choices for trade school graduates are limited, whereas, Ca-reer Program graduates are not only on the fast track for salary raises and advancement through a com-pany, but are prepared for university if they choose to pursue their studies further.

Graduates from the Career Programs are highly sought-after by companies. There are jobs out there that need to be filled and companies are having difficulty finding qualified personnel. To get an overview of the prospects of various programs of study and the career outlook for graduates from the Career Programs take a look at Le Palmarès des carrières 2016, published by Sep-tembre éditeur. It’s a survey of the 150 best jobs in Québec, the programs of study they require, start-ing salaries and time spent looking for that first job.

In the 2016 survey, many of Vanier’s Career Pro-grams led to nominated jobs (Palmarès 2016 Nomi-nee), and several led to winning jobs (Palmarès 2016 Lauréat – Winner).

Contact academic advising if you plan on university studiesStudents interested in advanced studies at the uni-versity level, instead of immediate employment upon graduation, should contact Vanier’s Academic Advising staff during their first semester to be sure they acquire the appropriate prerequisite courses for the university program that interests them. Advi-sors also know about university programs that of-fer equivalencies, advanced standing and credits for some Career Program courses, which might reduce the time needed to obtain a Bachelor’s degree. At Vanier, 50% of Career Program graduates continue on to university after Cegep.

Letter of Intent (if requested) Write a business letter addressed to the Program Coordinator explaining your interest in your pro-gram of choice, and detailing relevant interests, skills, and experiences. Work and volunteer history can be mentioned. Finish with a sentence outlining your future study and /or career goals. This letter will be part of your SRAM application. Nursing appli-cants can consult guidelines for writing their letter of intent at: http://www.vaniercollege.qc.ca/nursing/ letter-of-intent

Standing and advancement Standards: Criteria applied each semester to determine if a stu-dent maintains eligibility to continue as a full time student in college, and/or to continue in the same program. Also refers to standards to be achieved be-fore a student can enroll in the next semester of a program. These are unique for many programs.

Immunization records and TestingRegistered students in Nursing and Respiratory and Anaesthesia Technology will require up-to-date im-munization due to the nature of their training and internships. Animal Health students may require im-munization and/or testing prior to their internship. Your Program Coordinator will inform you of the re-quirements once you have registered. It is strongly recommended that all students in the ECE program be up- to- date on all of their immunizations, includ-ing boosters.

For more information on specific vanier programs, see the Program website or contact the Coordinator.

his is a challenging program, dedicated to improving animal welfare, by combining a

love of animals with a passion for science. Providing quality health care for animals involves elements of many disciplines, such as: nursing and surgical skills, diagnostic imaging, laboratory skills, animal husbandry, nutrition, pharmacology, parasi-tology and customer service.

Upon graduation, Animal Health Technicians be-come valued members of the animal health care team. Their acquired knowledge and skills benefit a wide range of animal species; small animals (dogs and cats), laboratory animals, exotic animals and farm animals.

In addition to developing an expertise in a variety of technical procedures, the Animal Health Techni-cian must become proficient in the care and man-agement of animals in a clinical, laboratory and re-search environment. Technicians may also assume administrative roles within their work places. The ability to communicate effectively and interact with clients and colleagues is essential.

In this labor intensive, dynamic program, the theory provided by classroom lessons, is accompanied by a hands-on learning experience in the laboratory. Students assist the veterinary professors during consultation, treatments and surgery. Some of the tasks consist of taking x-rays, collecting biological samples, analyzing blood, urine and fecal samples, preparing patients for surgery, monitoring anesthe-sia, dental prophylaxis, counselling clients on nutri-tion and pet care, and maintenance of the animal facility. Students will also learn about the laboratory animals used in biomedical research, the exotic animals in the pet industry and in zoological parks, and will be introduced to care of farm animals and horses. The final semester of the program includes a mandatory clinical and research internship.

This program is accredited by the Canadian Veteri-nary Medical Association (CVMA) and the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC). The Animal Health Technology Department is an institutional member of ATSAQ (Association des Techniciennes et Tech-niciens en Santé Animale du Québec). Graduating students are eligible to write the VTNE (Veterinary Technician National Exam).

his dynamic profession combines hands-on technical knowledge of buildings and

construction techniques with the art of ar-chitectural design.

Job placement for our graduates is exceptional. New buildings are always being constructed and existing structures are constantly being renovated. This cre-ates a need for architectural technologists to work with architects, engineers, designers, general con-tractors, developers and other industry professionals. Possessing technical skills, knowing how buildings fit together and how the construction industry oper-ates are key elements in this industry.

Students profit from small classes, peer tutoring, state-of-the-art software and individual teacher at-tention. Our teachers include practicing architects and engineers who bring that expertise to the class-room. Upon completion of the program graduates understand the science and materials of construc-

tion and know-how to combine them with the tech-niques of design and architecture.

All students in this program participate in a two-week internship where they work in the offices of archi-tects, contractors, construction firms or other related companies to get a realistic view of the profession. These internships often lead directly to job offers.

As part of their studies, students take field trips to architecturally interesting locations in and around Montreal such as innovative buildings, green build-ings, construction sites, architectural land marks, and historical Old Montreal. Past trips outside the country have included trips to New York City, New Orleans, New Mexico and Chicago. Prominent guest speak-ers keep the program connected to contemporary trends in building design and techniques.

Successful graduates in this program thrive on the challenge of design and construction.

Vanier College is the only English Cegep that provides three options in Business administration covering a range of business specializations:

• Accounting and Management Technology 410.B0• Business Management (Marketing) 410.D0• Insurance and Financial Advisory Services 410.C0 (Unique to Vanier in English)

All three Business Administration options share a simi-lar curriculum in the first three semesters emphasizing basic business and computer skills and introducing students to major areas of concern in the business world. This approach allows students to become fa-miliar with general business concepts and terminol-ogy before they undertake courses specifically related to their program.

The final three semesters permit specialization in ac-counting, marketing, or insurance and financial adviso-ry services. All three options offer a combination of the practical as well as the theoretical, in order to provide the skills needed to secure entry-level management positions in the business world. There is a mandatory internship placement with the opportunity of interna-tional (France) fieldwork.

omputers and the Internet have be-come essential to many activities in our

personal and professional lives as pow-erful tools for information processing and com-munication. Internet access is now ever-present; we increasingly depend on the World Wide Web and its applications to fulfill our communication, entertainment and information needs. Computers and the World Wide Web only become useful and powerful tools when brought to life by programs, applications.

A computer program is a carefully thought out, step-by-step, set of instructions prepared by a programmer. Development of programs requires analysis, perseverance, and creativity. It is a chal-lenging and fun task, usually requiring teamwork and knowledge in areas other than computers.

The Computer Science Technology program includes courses in programming languages, markup languages and data standards applied to mobile application development, Internet pro-gramming, desktop computer programming, da-

tabases and computer networking. Students learn to create applications (apps) for mobile devices using Android technology, to develop business websites (e-commerce) and to build a variety of computer applications.

Students in their last semester are placed in a company to do an extensive internship, or “stage”, three days per week for the fifteen weeks of the semester. These companies, large and small, op-erate in a variety of fields, giving the students an invaluable working experience. Employers regard all aspects of this training as being important for future employees. Upon graduation, a significant number of students are offered employment by their “stage” company. Moreover, students who decide to pursue university studies often come to an arrangement for part-time employment while they continue their higher education.

This career program is open to qualified students graduating from high school, mature students re-turning to studies, and to people who are chang-ing their field of study.

omputer Engineering Technology is unique in that it combines two fields of

study: electronics and software. Together these areas offer a complete technical perspec-tive of the computer engineering environment.

The understanding of electronic circuitry is en-riched with in-depth knowledge of components such as microprocessors, micro-controllers and programmable logic devices, as well as comput-er networks.

This is a project-based program. Students learn by working on a project that carries through sev-eral courses where they learn and may use of different techniques.

What kind of software is studied in this program?

The software component of Computer Engineer-ing Technology focuses on embedded platforms like Linux and on programming languages that are unique to the electrical engineering field such as microprocessor assembly language, C-language, C++, HDL and Python. Digital technology is used every day, in everything from cars to microwaves. There are continuous advances in electronic devices such as tablets and laptops, smartphones, digital televisions, and medi-cal electronic devices. These are a few of the prod-ucts that could not have been developed without the assistance of a Computer Engineering tech-nologist who is involved in the design, analysis, implementation and application of computers and digital systems.

Many Canadians suffer from breathing problems associated with respiratory disease, heart disease, accidents and premature births. For these people, the act of drawing a breath cannot be taken for granted. For them, breathing is an accomplish-ment, and care by a Respiratory Therapist may be crucial. In addition to treating respiratory ail-ments a Respiratory therapist may be found in operating rooms working as assistants to anaes-thesiologists or in pulmonary function laborato-ries evaluating breathing function.

At the end of their second year, Respiratory and Anaesthesia Technology students may obtain sum-mer employment in local hospitals as “externes.”

What can I do after I graduate with a DCS in respiratory and anaesthesia Technology?

According to the Ordre des inhalothé-rapeutes du Québec most graduates work as general respiratory therapists, many are employed as anaesthesia assistants and the remainder work in other areas such as com-munity health care facilities, home health agencies, and specialized and private care hospitals. Some may also work in the air am-bulance industry that offers international op-portunities for travel and work.

The career path may also lead to sales of medical equipment, management and posi-tions as respiratory and anaesthesia teach-ers in cegeps and community colleges. DCS graduates enjoy a good labour market situ-ation and job prospects in this occupation are good. A permit from the Ordre des in-halothérapeutes du Québec allows the reg-istered Respiratory Therapist to work any-where in Canada.

Can i attend university after studies in this Program?

Yes, it is possible to continue on to uni-versity studies with this DCS but not in this program since university degrees in respiratory and anaesthesia technology do not exist in Québec. However, uni-versity credits are available via courses supported by the professional order. Graduates wishing to apply to univer-sity should consult with an Academic Advisor to know the prerequisites of the program they wish to apply to.

he Special Care Counselling program leads to a rewarding career path that

offers students the chance to work with people who have physical, mental, intellectual, neurological, emotional and behavioural issues.

The Special Care Counselling program provides people-oriented students with the professional skills necessary to develop therapeutic relation-ships and give support to a broad range of people of all ages who have special needs. Students are trained to assess, develop, implement and evalu-ate goal- directed clinical interventions designed to enhance a person’s quality of life.

Students of the Special Care Counselling pro-gram participate in three separate supervised internship placements where they can put into practice the skills they learn in course work.

The role of the Special Care Counsellor is con-tinually growing and expanding. In the 3-year Special Care Counselling program students ac-quire the combination of theoretical and practi-cal knowledge needed to both work in this excit-ing and constantly evolving helping profession, or to continue their studies at the University level if they choose to do so.

Given that Special Care Counsellors work with families, schools, and within a variety of social service agencies with teams of multi-disciplinary professionals, students who become Special Care Counsellors must be compassionate, creative, sensitive, patient, and observant individuals who have a strong passion for helping others.
