The Graphic Design training at LaSalle College offers students professional level facilities, qualified teachers whom currently work in the industry and a hands-on education helping the students master the necessary skills needed to succeed as a graphic designer.

Graduates from our Graphic Design course often find jobs with internationally acclaimed companies such as Moment Factory, Sid Lee, ALDO, just to name a few.

Each session, LaSalle College organizes an exhibition to highlight the projects of its students. Come join us at our next exhibition!

The Hotel Lodging Management night program (AEC) is designed as much for students interested in familiarizing themselves with the hotel industry as for those already working in the industry but wanting to advance in their careers.

This training opens the doors to many exciting professions. Careers in this domain are ideal for people who enjoy contact with others and would like to work in an international milieu in any country. Training consists of developing various hotel management skills, with courses emphasizing real-life situations, case studies, concrete simulations, and on-site work experiences.

The Accounting and Management Technology program (AEC) is designed for students looking for a promising career in finance and accounting

Its purpose is to teach all the tasks and functions of this profession. In accounting, students will learn how to be involved in all steps of the accounting cycle, whereas in management, students will learn how to provide support and management assistance in the human resources, financial, and technical departments of a business.

As soon as students graduate, they will have numerous opportunities and will be assured employment, as this profession exists in all economic sectors and is always in great demand in the job market.

LaSalle College’s Managing Senior-Citizen Homes program is designed to keep pace with the projected development and consolidation in the senior citizen housing network, a rapidly-growing industry.

According to the Institut de la statistique du Québec, the number of people above age 65 will double over the next 20 years. Consequently, the demand for retirement homes will increase significantly. Many large-scale projects are currently in the works and there is high demand for workers. According to recent statistics*, 1000 positions per year will be added within the next 20 years.

This training focuses on a career for the future, giving graduates access to management and supervisory roles in a people-focused environment that also emphasizes service quality.

Costumes speak for themselves. They tell the story of a place, an epoch and most especially of a character. Whether it be a wandering knight, a nervous banker, you will be called to clothe them and bring them to life.

Conceptualizing a costume requires time travel in the past or into the future. Designing garments for an English family having a picnic on the banks of the Thames in 1776, or having to dress American political refugees exiled in Mexico in the year 2100 require extensive research.

In the cinema and television industry, costumes need to be produced in step with the scriptwriter. Knowing how to mimic the natural wear-and-tear of clothes during a short or long film and keeping the clothing style cohesive throughout will demonstrate your adaptability.

You may choose to specialize in costume design for cinema and television as of the fourth semester of your Fashion Design DEC program. Apply your talent and knowledge in the fields of cinema, television, circus and theatre.

With this 3D animation and VFX training available at our recognized VFX & Game Design School, learn how to create special effects for film, television, video games and many other audiovisual and multimedia fields.

Our graduates will be able to choose from careers as 3D animators, 3D artists, character or environment designers, special effects designers or modelers, to name just a few.

Many LaSalle College graduates have worked on major productions such as Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within, 300, and video games such as Halo III.

In order to face the new global competition, today's companies must have highly qualified personnel in Operations and Production Management (GOP). Whether for the provision of goods or services, quality and cost parameters, as well as customer satisfaction, must be at the heart of the concerns of today's managers.

Faced with this reality, the courses of this training allow students to acquire skills such as operations and production management according to the particularities of international market trends. They acquire knowledge of production planning and scheduling; quality assurance and control; manufacturing process, etc.

Faced with the growth of service and trade companies, a specialized workforce trained in commercial management is required on the labor market. The Business Management DEC, lasting three years, meets this need.

This program aims to train generalists (technicians) who will master all aspects of commercial management and sales force management within a retail establishment or in a company. It aims to develop three types of profiles: management of a retail business, commercial or industrial representation, and independent management of a commercial establishment.

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to put to use the skills acquired in different types of business establishments or within a company.
