A word from the Executive Director
Since I have been at the helm of Groupe Convex, I have aspired to grow my organization to be an economic engine, an employer of choice and a social force.
I want Groupe Convex to be an economic engine through its business projects that meet the needs of the market and our communities. I hope that all entities that make up Group Convex are efficient and relevant in the market. We contribute not only to the economic development but also to the community development in the region.
I want the Group Convex to be an employer of choice. By combining business and social issues, we offer our employees the opportunity to develop skills that are in demand in the job market so that they fully integrate into their community. While working at Groupe Convex, I want everyone to feel valued and appreciated, to feel like part of a big family.
I want Groupe Convex to be a social force. By actively promoting inclusive workplaces for all and demonstrating the full potential of our employees, we aim to shift the mindset towards a community where everyone can play an important and valued role.
At Groupe Convex we achieve the socio-professional integration of people living with disabilities by managing our companies and developing business partnerships. We promote the development of employability and offer permanent, stable, and quality jobs to nearly 170 people.
