George Brown College and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières are launching new training initiatives to address evolving workforce demands. GBC is launching a Customs and Trade certificate in January 2026. The program will prepare graduates for careers in customs, compliance, and international trade through hands-on training with industry software and up-to-date regulatory knowledge. Meanwhile, UQTR and the Association québécoise du loisir public have begun a one-year partnership to deliver a non-credit continuing education program for public leisure professionals. The program includes six sessions focused on topics such as leisure values, municipal environments, facilities development, and inclusive recreation planning—particularly for aging populations.
