Testimonials

I thoroughly enjoyed my exploratory stay in the region with the Place aux jeunes program. Lisa is a dynamic, attentive, and observant person, always attuned to everyone’s needs. She took great care of us, planned the stay well, and I greatly enjoyed her company. She knows her region very well and has a strong sense of human connection. It was truly wonderful.

Lisa is exceptional at what she does. She is truly in her element, and one can feel that she deeply loves what she does.

The exploratory stay truly helped me discover and meet the resources available in the region, and also to experience the local atmosphere to see if I would feel at home there as part of a potential relocation. This experience truly enlightened me, and I feel immense gratitude for having been able to live it. It was extraordinary.

I truly had a wonderful day thanks to the CJEP. I made many great discoveries. It was a privilege for me to participate in this experience. The Carrefour jeunesse-emploi du Pontiac is a valuable resource for us, young graduates seeking employment in our respective fields. Thank you for this excellent exploratory stay!

Our visit to Pontiac. First and foremost, it was a pleasure to be here, and the welcome was warm and friendly. We engaged in discussions about employment and life in Pontiac, including how things operate within the city.

We had a tour of the city, and the surrounding area was wonderful. We greatly appreciated it. Thank you for your consideration.
