Under the tripartite agreement between Emploi-Québec, the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications (MCC) and the Commission des partenaires du marché du travail (CPMT), Emploi-Québec undertakes to make available the amounts needed to carry out continuing training activities under its Mesure de formation de la main-d’œuvre, volet entreprises (MFOR-e) in accordance with the priorities established regionally by Services Québec.
To facilitate broader access to continuing education for professional artists and workers in the arts and culture sector, the Direction régionale de Services Québec de l’Île-de-Montréal (DRSQIM) subsidizes arts and culture training projects.
The training activities of the Montréal component are part of the regional intervention in the area of continuing education for people working in the arts and culture residing or working on the territory of the Island of Montréal. The CFC is responsible for evaluating and prioritizing the training needs of the cultural labour force on the territory of the Island of Montréal.
The CFC also coordinates the distribution of the subsidy budget that may be requested from Services Québec by the promoting organizations and ensures an appropriate selection of training projects. This exercise is based on rigorous analyses of training needs. Subsidy applications submitted by the sponsoring organizations are validated by Services Québec.
To receive financial assistance from the MFOR measure, contact the sector supervisor in your discipline.
