Centre d'apprentissage Santé et Rétablissement (Recovery College, Québec)

What Centre d'apprentissage Santé et Rétablissement (Recovery College, Québec) does

Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) is a public French-language university located in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, founded on March 19, 1969, and operating as the second-largest constituent institution of the Université du Québec network. It delivers higher-education services across approximately 340 programs spanning three study cycles (undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral), with ~15,000 students enrolled as of the 2020-2021 reporting period and more than 103,000 graduates to date. The institution is governed under a Quebec provincial mandate and serves primary feeder regions of Mauricie (25%), Montérégie (14.7%), Lanaudière (13.3%), and Centre-du-Québec (12.2%), alongside an international cohort drawn from 72 countries.

UQTR operates multiple campuses (Trois-Rivières headquarters, Drummondville inaugurated January 14, 2016, Québec City, and L'Assomption) plus eight university centers across five administrative regions of Quebec, and maintains partnerships with 145 institutions across 47 countries. Revenue streams include Quebec government subsidies and Ministry-regulated tuition (per-credit billing, lower for Quebec residents and higher for international students), externally funded research (nearly $30M CAD in grants, contracts, and sponsorships, with a 50.8% external funding ratio), revenue from university clinics open to the public (chiropractic, occupational therapy, podiatry, psychology, sports therapy, speech-language pathology), CAPS sports center memberships, continuing education and professional development, and ancillary services. Underlying technology consists of standard IT infrastructure — Office 365, Zoom, learning management systems, and student/faculty portals — with no disclosed proprietary AI or platform differentiation. Distribution relies on community-led GTM via open houses, campus visits, international recruitment (notably francophone Africa, including Madagascar), distance learning, alumni services (with Desjardins as principal partner), and media relations through the Néo UQTR digital outlet. Strategic priorities are operationalized through specialized research chairs (e.g., Hydro-Québec residential power demand), ecosystem partnerships with CIUSSS Mauricie-et-du-Centre-du-Québec for clinical training, and Indigenous student programs in collaboration with regional friendship centers.

The 'Centre d'apprentissage Santé et Rétablissement' (Recovery College, Québec) referenced in the entity name appears to be a sub-unit hosted within UQTR's structure (the firmographic URL points to a UQTR sub-site), focused on health-and-recovery learning; granular financial and operational data for this sub-unit is not separately disclosed in the input.
