The region has all the resources required for both quality education for young people and adults, and education and training tailored to the Estrie labour market. Many programs even provide customized training, often in partnership with businesses (on-site training, placements, co-op models).

The region’s bilingualism drives accessibility to services in English and French from kindergarten through university. For businesses, the existence of such a complete education system means a large pool of educated potential employees.
