Every year in early February, dozens of agencies across the province with diverse profiles open their doors to hundreds of university and CEGEP 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.
The Agency Open House Day will be back on February 10, 2023! Register now.
In the meantime, to familiarize yourself with the world of creative agencies, visit the That's agency life platform and discover a variety of resources.

We hope you strongly encourage your students to sign up for this activity, but we want it to be the participant’s decision and we therefore only allow individual registrations. The objective is simple: because space is limited, we want to make sure motivated participants get to take part.
Moreover, a career in an agency requires initiative. Making the first step to register for the activity is a good learning experience for the students!
No. We want to create diverse groups in order to combine different talents and profiles.
However, don’t hesitate to contact us if you want to organize a presentation specifically for your group on life in an agency (whether in the classroom or at an agency): info@a2c.quebec.
