McGill Executive Education goes to Gaspésie

About thirty managers and entrepreneurs attended a recent McGill Mini-MBA course in Matane, Quebec. It was the first time this type of course has been delivered in one of Quebec’s regions beyond Montreal and was the brainchild of local businessman François Rioux (MBA’10). “When you are on-location, you can see the energy and better understand the stakes, the challenges, and the successes,” says Eric Saine, the Executive Director of McGill Executive Education. That’s exactly what we wanted to do at McGill – to be a bridge that links communities. We’re an institution in Quebec. We want to know its regions, and help them succeed.”
