Prospects over the next 3 years

The employment outlook will be very good for College and other vocational instructors (NOC 41210) in Quebec for the 2024-2026 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment growth will lead to several new positions.
• Several positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

Employment in this profession depends on government investments in education and on the number of students enrolled in college programs and vocational training.

According to forecasts from the ministère de l'Éducation, in the medium term, increased enrollment would be mainly due to students who are graduating from high school. The contribution of international students will remain significant, although the pace of this contribution may slow down.   

The labour shortage in several sectors could force some companies to hire young people before they graduate. In turn, the drop in unskilled job vacancies and the rising youth unemployment rate could encourage young people to return to vocational training, which would support teaching jobs. Major investments have been announced to promote student retention and worker requalification.

The increased importance of continuing education in the workplace should create new vocational training instructor positions.

Colleges have been facing a shortage of teaching staff in many disciplines. This issue affects all types of education, but competitive salaries in certain industries make recruiting and retaining instructors in technical programs more difficult.

The employment outlook for this occupation will be moderate only in Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
