A new study by Quebec researchers paints a stark portrait of education and employment rates among the province's vulnerable youth. 

One-third of young people who have been placed under the care of Quebec's youth protection services, the Direction de la protection de la jeunesse (DPJ), are unemployed and aren't enrolled in a school at age 21, according to the study.

Commissioned by Quebec's employment ministry and conducted by the Chaire-Réseau de Recherche sur la Jeunesse du Québec the study looked at the experiences of 1,136 people with youth protection services.

It found that young people in Quebec's youth protection system are twice as likely to drop out of school compared to the general population, with only a quarter obtaining a high school diploma by the age of 19, and 37 per cent obtaining the degree by 21. 

Karolane Chénier-Richard isn't at all surprised by the findings. As a teenager, she dropped out of school and says she didn't get the kind of support she needed in Quebec. [...]

Six health-care worker placement agencies are no longer eligible for Quebec public contracts for the next five years, Radio-Canada is reporting.

According to information from the Autorité des marchés publics (AMP) obtained by Radio-Canada, the agencies are now registered with the Registre des entreprises non admissibles aux contrats publics (RENA) because they do not meet integrity requirements. 

The AMP oversees public contracts in Quebec. More than 2,400 companies are currently banned from contracting with the government.

Several major agencies that provided hundreds of nurses and orderlies to hospitals and CHSLDs in Quebec are among the list of ineligible companies.

After the AMP conducted audits, it found that three companies — 24/7 Expertise en Soins de Santé Inc., 9272-4095 Québec Inc. and 9159-2634 Québec Inc., doing business under the name Confort Élite — had, through their respective managers, participated in a scheme to submit strategically defined prices with the aim of encouraging an award and award of contracts favourable to them.
