Agency Open House Day

Agency Open House Day: a concrete experience of agency life!

 

Every year in early February, around thirty agencies across the province with diverse profiles open their doors to hundreds students to give them a taste of the industry.

With this initiative, the A2C wishes to demystify the world of agencies and shine a light on the career opportunities for these young leaders of tomorrow by providing them with a hands-on in-house experience.

The concept is simple: students who sign up are put into groups and assigned to an agency where they’ll spend half a day getting to know the world of advertising and communications.

To find out more about the world of creative communications agencies, visit the That’s agency life platform, which includes a wide range of relevant content and resources.
