JOB OUTLOOK

The job outlook for graphic designers and illustrators in Québec is generally rated as “VERY GOOD” by government sources (referencing the 2024-2028 Job prospects).

After JAC, I attended York University’s program, where I continued my design education. The technical skills and stage experience I acquired, gave me a clear advantage over my classmates.
