About the Work Oriented Training Path

The Work Oriented Training Pathway (WOTP) offers students two alternative pathways from the regular program. Both the Pre-Work Training (PWT) and Semi-Skilled Trade (TST) programs lead to a Quebec Ministry of Education (MEQ) certification, often bridging them directly to the workforce or towards vocational training, rather than CEGEP or other post-secondary education programs.

For more in-depth information, you can consult the draft version of Kativik Ilisarniliriniq WOTP Handbook for Administrators, Teachers and Employers. The finalized Handbook will be released when translation is available.

Here is a brief summary of the major differences between the two programs;
