LaSalle College’s Managing Senior-Citizen Homes program is designed to keep pace with the projected development and consolidation in the senior citizen housing network, a rapidly-growing industry.

According to the Institut de la statistique du Québec, the number of people above age 65 will double over the next 20 years. Consequently, the demand for retirement homes will increase significantly. Many large-scale projects are currently in the works and there is high demand for workers. According to recent statistics*, 1000 positions per year will be added within the next 20 years.

This training focuses on a career for the future, giving graduates access to management and supervisory roles in a people-focused environment that also emphasizes service quality.

Costumes speak for themselves. They tell the story of a place, an epoch and most especially of a character. Whether it be a wandering knight, a nervous banker, you will be called to clothe them and bring them to life.

Conceptualizing a costume requires time travel in the past or into the future. Designing garments for an English family having a picnic on the banks of the Thames in 1776, or having to dress American political refugees exiled in Mexico in the year 2100 require extensive research.

In the cinema and television industry, costumes need to be produced in step with the scriptwriter. Knowing how to mimic the natural wear-and-tear of clothes during a short or long film and keeping the clothing style cohesive throughout will demonstrate your adaptability.

You may choose to specialize in costume design for cinema and television as of the fourth semester of your Fashion Design DEC program. Apply your talent and knowledge in the fields of cinema, television, circus and theatre.

The DEC in Fashion Design is the starting point for all major collections.
An exhilarating career as a fashion designer requires artistic sensitivity as well as great creativity.

Each collection must meet the demand of a clientele increasingly eager for something new. The fashion designer will have to adapt to it and become a specialist in market accuracy.

Indeed, the novelties in fashion have what is called in the middle: a high fashion content. This added value, on the other hand, has a short life expectancy. In one day, out the next day. This is why the designer must constantly detect new trends to come and be inspired by them to create novelty, always novelty, nothing but novelty. If you are interested in creating, innovating and imposing new trends, then this discipline of fashion design is for you.

The Arts, Literature and Communication is a pre-university DEC program intended for students willing to experiment with artistic production while gaining a more in-depth general culture in order to better understand and appreciate artistic and literary works.

Throughout your studies in Arts, Literature and Communication - Arts option, you will take part in various artistic events such as visiting renowned institutions as well as alternative venues. Furthermore, you will actively participate in these events while enjoying the intercultural environment of Montreal. These experiences will lead you to apply critical thinking, discussion and an overall openness towards the deeper meanings, implications and values of art. The Arts option is created specifically for students who want to develop creative skills and open doors for their university studies.

The development of all these competencies aims to involve students so that they become an agent of change in our current and future society.
