“Find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life”, recommends Michael Belanger, 65 who tried retirement but was not ready for it! After running his own grocery business for 30 years, Michael was hungry to try out something different but knew that despite having skills and experience, he would need qualifications. So he decided to enrol in the Accounting program at the Western Quebec Career Centre and has enjoyed working with his fellow students and teachers. Michael is hoping to personify the WQCC mission statement, Transforming Knowledge into Careers, and commends his teachers by the way they expertly “prepare” students for the career ahead of them. Belanger who is married for 41 years takes nothing for granted and advises, “make sure you enjoy what you are doing, and have fun”. A top student in his class, Michael works hard at achieving excellence in every module, and is often seen sitting with others helping and encouraging them. Michael likes to walk the talk when it comes to good values and professionalism, and is often heard to say, “courtesy is contagious, let’s start an epidemic!”
