Centre de formation professionnelle de Mont-Laurier

What Centre de formation professionnelle de Mont-Laurier does

Centre de formation professionnelle de Mont-Laurier (CFPML) is a public vocational training institution located in Mont-Laurier in Quebec's Haute-Laurentides region, operating since 1995 under the governance of the Centre de services scolaire des Hautes-Laurentides and funded by Quebec's Ministry of Education. It delivers 19 Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) and Attestation d'études professionnelles (AEP) programs across eight sectors — forestry, wildlife management, healthcare, construction, transportation, heavy equipment mechanics, administration, and personal services — alongside a unique 2,355-hour Double DEP Forêt-Faune program combining forest management and wildlife protection credentials. The institution also operates a secondary campus in Rivière-Rouge and an independent corporate training arm (Service aux entreprises) offering short-format certifications such as ASP Construction, forklift operation, and lockout/tagout to regional employers.

The institution employs 134 staff including 66 teachers, and serves Quebec residents tuition-free while extending recruitment to French nationals and other international students. Its go-to-market is direct-enrollment driven through the provincial AdmissionFP platform combined with in-person recruitment via the "École d'un jour" (Student for a Day) program, school partnerships, and word-of-mouth referrals. Revenue is primarily government-sourced, supplemented by a $12,000-per-student Santé Québec bursary program (20 seats annually) tied to post-graduation employment commitments, corporate training fees, and donations channeled through the Fondation du CFPML. The current model is partnership-heavy, embedding the school in regional labor market infrastructure with employers such as SEPAQ, the Ministère des Forêts, forestry outfitter federations, and local healthcare facilities.
