A vocational training centre in Ormstown, Quebec, offering career programs in carpentry and health care, part of the New Frontiers School Board.
The Centre de formation professionnelle Châteauguay Valley is a vocational training centre located at 46 Roy, Ormstown, QC J0S 1K0. It is part of the New Frontiers School Board (Commission scolaire New Frontiers). The centre is located on the unceded territory of the Kanien'keya:kah people, about 30 minutes from Châteauguay and about one hour from Montréal.
The centre's mission is to give students technical expertise in carpentry and health care, as well as essential non-technical skills. It specializes in carpentry and health programs (PAB, HAN, IHCA). Career programs include carpentry-joinery, health assistance and nursing care, and support for assistance services in health and social services establishments. The Recognition of Acquired Competencies (RAC) program lets people have their skills evaluated, and the diploma obtained is the same as that from regular courses.
The centre has evolved and expanded over recent decades, from a tiny annex of Chateauguay Valley Regional High School to its current location with multiple expansions. Its students come from across the province, including many Indigenous communities.
The centre offers a free daily shuttle between its three centres. Students may receive government loans and bursaries from the Government of Quebec, or from the Kahnawake Economic Development Centre for Indigenous students.
