Starting a Business

Description

Program objectives

Starting a business

To help students acquire the competencies required to successfully integrate into the place of training

and the business world, to determine their suitability for their business proposal and the training process, to follow procedures necessary for starting and running a business, to research and process information, to prepare a business plan outline, to plan business activities, to determine market analysis, marketing and sales strategies, to determine the human, material and physical resources needed to start and run a business and to organize and process the information needed to secure business financing.

The vocational training curriculum, from which this program of study derives, is the responsibility of both the Ministère de l’Éducation, which develops programs and their teaching guides, and the educational institutions, which implement the programs and the evaluation process. The objectives of this program are compulsory.

Programs of study provide teachers with a frame of reference for planning teaching activities. They define the scope of teaching strategies by identifying the broad educational orientations to be favoured and the objectives to be attained. By successfully completing a program, students acquire not only the entry-level competencies required by the workplace in order to practice a trade or occupation, but also learning that provides students with a certain degree of versatility.

The duration of the program is 330 hours, which includes 240 hours spent on the specific competencies required to practice the trade and 90 hours on general, work-related competencies. The program of study is divided into 6 modules, which vary in length from 30 to 105 hours. The total hours allocated to the program include time devoted to evaluation for certification purposes and to remedial work.
