CEGEP

CEGEP (Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel) is a unique educational system in Quebec, Canada, serving students aged roughly 17 to 19 after high school. It acts as a bridge between secondary school and university or the workforce by offering two- or three-year programs. These programs include general education, preparation for university, and vocational training. Completing CEGEP earns students a diploma that can either help them enter the job market or be used as a stepping stone to university. It’s designed to provide a flexible, accessible, and career-oriented post-secondary education tailored to Quebec’s educational structure.
