Lester B. Pearson School Board (LBPSB) was established in 2003 and is one of Quebec's most sought-after English school boards. PACC Vocational Training offers some of the province's most prominent and sought-after English career programmes. The school’s no-nonsense, one-stop approach to learning, training, and developing job-finding skills makes LBPSB the ideal place to pursue students’ unique interests. 

PACC has built a solid reputation by successfully training students in three primary fields: business, health, and food. The school has approximately 1000 students of various ages and backgrounds. The faculty goes above and beyond to assist students to achieve their goals and enter the workforce, using a hands-on approach and the most up-to-date industry technology. The school graduates are among the first to be hired in their chosen field because they learn by doing. A PACC diploma speaks more than any other.
