\r\nMoving to Qu\u00e9bec often marks the beginning of a new chapter in life. For newly arrived immigrants, this fresh start comes with many challenges\u2014particularly on a professional level. Unrecognized diplomas, foreign work experience that is difficult to showcase, and new cultural norms in the job market are just some of the obstacles that can limit access to employment that truly matches one\u2019s skills. Yet, this transition period is also a powerful opportunity for reflection, repositioning, and sometimes even professional reinvention. Rebuilding confidence, understanding the codes of the Qu\u00e9bec job market, and identifying one\u2019s strengths become key steps toward moving forward with confidence.
\r\nIt is in this context that La Maisonn\u00e9e plays a vital role by supporting newcomers in their professional integration journey through free workshops, personalized support services, and group activities tailored to the realities of Qu\u00e9bec.","text":"

The professional culture shock: understanding the Qu\u00e9bec job market.<\/h3>\n

Changing countries also means changing professional cultures. In Qu\u00e9bec, r\u00e9sum\u00e9s, job interviews, networking, and even the use of LinkedIn follow specific codes\u2014sometimes very different from those of one\u2019s country of origin.<\/p>\n

Beyond the individualized and personalized support offered to the people we serve, La Maisonn\u00e9e<\/em> also provides several employment-related activities to help immigrants better understand these codes and feel equipped to navigate the job market.<\/p>\n

This February, we are offering several free activities open to everyone. Note : All workshops are offered in French only. However, individuals who speak other languages may still benefit from one-on-one support in their native language with our specialized employment counsellors and intervention workers. They may also enroll in French language (francization) courses in order to later participate in group workshops.<\/strong><\/p>\n
