There has been a growing demand for workers in Quebec in recent years, particularly in specialized vocational trades. This demand has not only created tangible job opportunities but also nice paying positions.
As the largest English public school board in Quebec, the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) has 11 adult and vocational centers offering a wide variety of vocational programs. Students are eligible for these programs if they have completed the required prerequisites.
Upon graduation from these programs, students will obtain a vocational studies diploma (diplôme d’études professionnelles/DEP), a professional specialization attestation (attestation de 
spécialisation professionnelle/ASP) or a vocational training attestation (attestation de formation professionnelle/AFP). They may either work in the specialized or semi-specialized trades or pursue their studies at the college level.
Below are some of the vocational training centers operated by EMSB:
Shadd Business Centre (SBC)
John F. Kennedy Business Centre (JFK)
Rosemount Technology Centre (RTC)
Laurier Macdonald Vocational Centre
St. Pius X Adult Education Centre and Culinary Institute
