Qualify and retain your experienced educators
L'équipe de la RAC96 organisent des rencontres d'information spéciales pour clarifier les nouvelles modalités, répondre à vos questions et ainsi mieux vous accompagner dans cette transition👇
Rencontre du 11 juin à 13h30
The RAC96 is a process of Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC) in Early Childhood Care and Education offered in several CEGEPs in Quebec. It allows adults who have acquired experience, knowledge and skills in childhood education, to evaluate and have their skills officially recognized. This individual process takes place at the pace of each participant.
The idea at the heart of the RAC96 is to offer experienced unqualified personnel a favourable context for carrying out their progress and financial support of up to 96 hours of paid time, reimbursed to the employer within the framework of the workforce training measure for companies.
The educational childcare services eligible for RAC96 are:
Get financial support
Receive financial support of up to 96 hours paid at a fixed hourly rate of $25 for each employee in the RAC process.
To better support you, the RAC96 team is organizing several virtual meetings, presenting the project and the administrative procedures.
It is recommended that you attend a meeting to learn about the project before registering for the meeting on administrative procedures.
Stay tuned for upcoming meeting dates.
RAC96
Step 1
Learn the details of the RAC96 approach and share them with your employees.
Interested employees participate in an information session on RAC, offered by CEGEPs (mandatory and free meeting, in a CEGEP of the person's choice, and without obligation to continue the process afterwards).
Step 2
Employees interested in pursuing the process prepare their application file and submit it to the CEGEP where they participated in an information session on RAC.
After analysis of the file, they are called to a validation interview to determine if they are eligible for the RAC process.
Step 2
At the same time, the employer registers their environment on the Early Childhood Work-Study portal
OR
connect to their Employer space to update all the information and registers any employee who has submitted a CEGEP application file.
Step 3
If the employee is admitted, they will then be evaluated by various means: meetings with a content specialist, written assignments, design of a portfolio, observations in the workplace, etc.
If necessary, you may be asked to participate in missing training activities in order to pass the evaluations and thus meet the requirements for obtaining the diploma.
In partnership with their employer, the employee will plan their moments of release that will allow them to progress in his RAC process in the best conditions, and ideally during regular working hours.
This paid time of up to 96 hours will be reimbursed to the employer at the fixed rate of $25 per hour, for each employee in the RAC96 process.
Once the skills assessment is complete, the CEGEP will issue a diploma with the same value as one obtained through classroom or virtual training.
