I’m looking for a woodworker for a contract?
You are an INDIVIDUAL
Since each course must respond to specific goals in accordance with the framework plans of the Ministère de l’Éducation, the ÉÉAM does not accept contracts from individuals. In addition, our bulletin boards and networks are reserved for internal posting, which means that we do not run classified ads. You can visit the directory of members of the Conseil des métiers d’art du Québec to find a cabinetmaker in your area.
You are an ORGANIZATION or a COMPANY
The ÉÉAM occasionally accepts special projects from organisations or companies if they are relevant to our school. Contact us to present your project.
I am looking for a woodworker for a job or an apprenticeship?
The ÉÉAM does not provide an internship or placement service. In addition, our bulletin boards and networks are reserved for internal posting, which means that we do not post advertisements or job offers.
Can I have access to your workshops and equipment?
Workshops are reserved at specific times for college students or continuing education participants. However, graduates of recognized cabinetmaking schools and participants who have completed the Cursus technique EN of ÉÉAM general public courses have access to the ÉÉAM’s incubator workshop « l’Atelier Incubateur ».
Do you accept furniture, wood or tools in donation?
We occasionally accept donated furniture if they present a teaching, historical or aesthetical interest. Send us your pictures!
