Mentoring: The Deeper Connection to Networking
Countering the Youth Talent Drain
So you’ve been to the event and you have made all the connections, what happens now? Join us to hear how our unique story that started a year ago changed our lives. Learn how a “deep relationship” can change the face of how you network. What happens after that 30-second “elevator speech”? Come! Develop your own personal strategy to give, receive and experience this new way to network, with caring and loving results.
We will discuss the challenges to career management in a francophone rural milieu. How to counter the youth talent drain? How to promote the return of those who left? How to develop rural communities? Specifically we will present the results of three studies carried out by me and other collaborators on these themes. We will shed light on the subject of exemplary and winning techniques.

Program Evaluation as a Collaborative Enterprise
Career Counselling Programs for High Schools
When program evaluation is done by external consultants, anxiety, suspicion and other dysfunctional attitudes often result. Field tests indicate that using a collaborative approach results in more positive attitudes towards evaluation. This helps practitioners see evaluation as a worthwhile process that demonstrates the value of career services and improves the quality of the services they provide.
In Quebec high schools, three new scholastic counselling programs are offered to students. The students who choose these programs decide to further their knowledge of career counselling and to explore the world of professional development and the world of entrepreneurship. In brief, they learn to become the principal agents of their own scholastic and professional development.
