Program details
Overview
Techniques d'education specialisee (code 351.A1) is a Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered by Cegep de l'Abitibi-Temiscamingue at its Rouyn-Noranda campus, training specialized educators. The program includes employment-based internships and has no specific secondary-school subject prerequisite. Students learn to work alongside people of any age, in whatever environment they live or move through, developing client autonomy to support learning, designing educational activities, and building intervention plans aimed at helping clients reach their optimal level of adaptation. Typical workplaces include integrated health and social services centres (CISSS), schools, childcare centres (CPE), rehabilitation centres for intellectual or physical disabilities, community organizations, youth centres, and carrefours jeunesse-emploi. Graduates work as specialized educators or intervention workers. The program suits students who can read behaviour and psychology perceptively, act with patience and compassion toward others, bring organization and creativity to activity planning, and are comfortable engaging with people outside their usual social circle.
