AEC in Entrepreneurship and Takeover

at LaSalle College - Montreal Campus Canada

The virtual world is now unavoidable, and demand for community managers grows every day. Social media is truly important for clients, whether used to generate customer loyalty or improve the customer experience. This means that responsiveness is important in terms of implementing changes, and developing, operating and expanding businesses.

Community managers are responsible for the organization’s brand—they take charge of its reputation and inform the company of the competition’s practices and industry trends. They analyze the situation to gauge the efficacy and functioning of the strategies in place, with the aim of improving future actions.

The Social media strategy AEC teaches students how to develop, write and optimize promotional texts online, communicate with different web communities, and prevent and manage crises.

The Arts, Literature and Communication program is a pre-university program for those who wish to experience media production while enriching their general knowledge in order to better understand and appreciate the different media.

During their DEC in Arts, Letters and Communication - Media, students take part in the vibrant cultural life of Montreal by visiting institutions as well as unusual places. In addition, they are called upon to participate in media events while taking advantage of the city's intercultural environment. These experiences allow them to exercise their critical thinking and broaden their horizons on the impact of the media in our society. The Media option is created especially for students who wish to develop communication skills and open several doors for university.

The development of all these skills aims to engage students in order to become active agents of change within today's and tomorrow's society.

Their motivation includes forging professional relationships and having a positive influence on others. Openness, empathy and a penchant for teamwork are essential characteristics to work in this field.

The DEC in Fashion Design is the starting point for all major collections.
An exhilarating career as a fashion designer requires artistic sensitivity as well as great creativity.

Each collection must meet the demand of a clientele increasingly eager for something new. The fashion designer will have to adapt to it and become a specialist in market accuracy.

Indeed, the novelties in fashion have what is called in the middle: a high fashion content. This added value, on the other hand, has a short life expectancy. In one day, out the next day. This is why the designer must constantly detect new trends to come and be inspired by them to create novelty, always novelty, nothing but novelty. If you are interested in creating, innovating and imposing new trends, then this discipline of fashion design is for you.
