COUD program Water Professions component

Water professions component

The short-term training program (COUD) favoring internships in the professions prioritized by the CPMT includes the Water Professions component. It supports companies in need of skilled labor in the field of water trades. In addition, it aims to train professionals in the water professions by

• dissemination of an existing vocational or technical training program;
• adapting an existing vocational or technical training program to business needs.

Part of the training must be done through internships in the workplace. The involvement of companies in the training of their personnel is therefore necessary.

The COUD program covers 100% of the costs associated with the development or adaptation of the training by the educational institution.

Training projects for professions that are not related to the field of water trades are not eligible for this section. These projects must be submitted in the  general requalification and skills enhancement component , the engineering and information technology component or the  educational childcare services component, depending on the profession concerned .
