Overview
Cégep de Shawinigan is a public French-language cégep at 2263, avenue du Collège in Shawinigan, Quebec, with a satellite campus in La Tuque.
Its regular division offers pre-university and technical DEC programs spanning sciences, humanities, arts, health sciences, engineering technologies, early childhood education, information technology, and graphic design. A continuing-education division awards attestations d'études collégiales (AEC), runs reconnaissance des acquis et des compétences (RAC) skills-recognition assessments, and provides professional-development and corporate training.
Several technical programs use work-integrated learning, including co-op placements, workplace apprenticeships, and work-study alternation. The cégep maintains dedicated international-student recruitment with admission support, integration services, and an Air Canada travel partnership, alongside specific pathways for Indigenous learners (Premières Nations, Métis et Inuits).
It houses the CNETE technology-transfer centre and an Observatory for Prehospital Care Ecosystems tied to its health prograMs. Its "Électriks" teams compete in student sport, and its sports centre, including a pool and fitness facilities, is open to the public.
Instruction throughout is in French. The institution suits recent Quebec secondary-school graduates pursuing a pre-university diploma before university entry or a technical credential leading to skilled work, adults upgrading through continuing education, and international or Indigenous students seeking dedicated admission and integration support in the Mauricie region.
