CLINIQUE CARRIÈRE

What CLINIQUE CARRIÈRE does

Clinique Carrière is a university-affiliated teaching clinic (clinique-école) within the Faculté des sciences de l'éducation of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), founded in 2011 and now operating as a non-profit service of the public university. It delivers career counseling, career orientation, career management, professional rehabilitation, school/professional information, and job-integration services to individual clients across Quebec, and customized organizational training to employers. Services are delivered by supervised students enrolled in UQAM's career development and counseling programs, working under licensed OCCOQ-aligned clinical supervisors, with in-person consultations at UQAM's Montreal centre-ville campus (1265 rue Berri, local AR-2400) and the Lanaudière campus in Terrebonne, plus remote consultations via secure Zoom.

The clinic operates two revenue streams: a publicly transparent individual fee-for-service stream priced at $50 per 60-75 minute counseling session and $25 per 30-minute information session, and a customized organizational training stream whose pricing is bespoke. The current operational model is demand-constrained — the clinic advertises a closed waiting list and operates with a small core team of seven. The technology footprint is deliberately minimal, relying on Zoom, a WordPress-based website, Facebook, LinkedIn, and an email newsletter, with no proprietary platform, mobile app, or disclosed AI tooling.

In August 2024 Clinique Carrière relocated into UQAM's Clinique universitaire de santé globale, co-locating with four peer clinics (orthopedagogical services, sexology, social work, and psychological services) to form an interdisciplinary health service cluster. Subsequent strategic moves include 2025 partnerships with CISSS and CIUSSS networks to embed career development professionals in healthcare settings, geographic expansion to Lanaudière, and the launch of a continuing education program for career professionals. The clinic's leadership team, including director Réginald Savard (Ph.D.) and staff Marie Ducharme and Emmanuelle Desrosiers, has won multiple regional industry awards, including the 2025 Prix de l'orientation (OCCOQ) and the 2026 Prix Stu Conger (FCDC). As a publicly funded university service, the clinic has no external shareholders, no venture or private equity capital, and no independent legal incorporation.
