At the heart of Montreal: A school dedicated to the construction trades

Located in the Plateau Mont-Royal arrondissement, the École des métiers de la construction de Montréal, formerly known as « Centre Parthenais », was founded in the 1940’s by the unions and contractors wishing to offer training opportunities for workers.

Today, it has become a sectorial centre of the Commission scolaire de Montréal (CSDM) and is administered by a management committee. This committee stems from an agreement between the CSDM, the Ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS) and the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ).

It is in charge of establishing the direction and the priorities of the school.
