CJE Trois-Rivières/MRC des Chenaux

What CJE Trois-Rivières/MRC des Chenaux does

CJE Trois-Rivières/MRC des Chenaux is a non-profit youth employment center (Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Trois-Rivières, Québec, operating under the supervision of Service-Québec and as part of the Réseau des carrefours jeunesse-emploi du Québec. The organization delivers free, confidential services to youth aged 16-35 across three primary verticals: employment assistance (job search support, resume review, interview preparation), return-to-education guidance (including referrals to adult education centers for TENS/GED equivalency), and entrepreneurship accompaniment. It also operates the Place aux jeunes regional attraction and retention program across both Trois-Rivières and MRC des Chenaux sub-territories.

The platform is a standard website (cjetrdc.com) with three core functional components: a job board (Babillard d'offres d'emploi), an employer portal (Zone employeur) for posting validated job offers, and a self-serve contact layer. Supporting surfaces include a blog, a monthly newsletter, and active social media accounts. There is no mobile app, no API, and no proprietary technology stack beyond the website. The organization employs 23 staff, including long-tenured intervenants (counselors), Place aux jeunes agents, and a receptionist, drawn from backgrounds in social work, psychoeducation, and entrepreneurship.

The business model is non-profit and government-funded. All services are provided free of charge to end users; there is no fee-for-service revenue stream. Funding flows primarily through Service-Québec grants and federal Service Canada programs, supplemented by referral partnerships with LOJIQ (international youth mobility), Jeune chambre de la Mauricie (young entrepreneur networking), and adult education centers. No revenue, budget figures, or financial disclosures are made public, and there is no indication of earned-income diversification such as corporate sponsorships, paid employer listings, or fee-based training.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves2 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Service Canada: Federal employment and training services providing overlap with CJE's mandate. CJE helps youth navigate Service Canada programs, making it both a complementary partner and a partial competitor for federal employment clients.
• Fondation des YMCA du Québec: Quebec YMCA delivers youth employment, employability, and newcomer integration programs with similar target populations. Broader mandate including housing and fitness, but directly comparable on the youth employment services segment.
• Boys and Girls Club of Canada: National youth development organization offering after-school programs, employability training, and career exploration for young people, including in Quebec. Comparable mission around youth opportunity and workforce readiness.
• Emploi-Québec (Service Québec): Provincial government employment service offering broader workforce programs across all age groups. CJE focuses on youth within a narrower 16-35 mandate, complementing rather than directly competing with Emploi-Québec's wider portfolio.

Direct peers

• Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi de Montréal: The Montreal-area CJE, providing identical youth employment and career services under the same Réseau des carrefours jeunesse-emploi du Québec umbrella. Most directly comparable in mandate, though operating in a much larger urban market.
• YES Employment + Entrepreneurship: Montreal-based non-profit providing employment services and entrepreneurship support to youth, with a similar age-targeted mission. Comparable delivery model and funding structure though concentrated in Montreal.
• Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi de Sherbrooke: Another Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi in the Quebec network offering free employment, education, and entrepreneurship services to youth aged 16-35. Direct operational peer with the same mandate, funding model, and service structure, but serving a different region.

Regional players

• Centre local de développement (CLD) de Trois-Rivières: Regional economic development organization supporting entrepreneurs and SMEs in the same Mauricie territory as CJE. Overlap on the youth entrepreneurship support mandate and on local employer engagement, though serving a broader adult audience.

Others

• Réseau des carrefours jeunesse-emploi du Québec (RCJEQ): The provincial network of 110 CJE offices. Not a competitor but the governing body that coordinates policy, training, and funding flows to the subject organization and its peers across Quebec.
• Place aux jeunes en région (national program): National Quebec program aimed at attracting and retaining youth in regional areas; CJE Trois-Rivières/MRC des Chenaux delivers a local chapter of this program, making it a closely aligned upstream partner rather than a competitor.
