A Presentation Focused on Real-World Challenges

Martin Savoie, Training Manager at UpperBee, will share his expertise as both an instructor and industry professional. Through concrete examples and case studies, he will demonstrate how the UpperBee platform addresses operational, human, and regulatory challenges faced by property managers.

These exchanges will help students better understand the strategic role of all-in-one software in managing buildings and communities.

‘‘It’s an excellent opportunity to share our property management expertise and discuss with students the importance of technological tools for managers, while improving the resident experience! Every year, I’m impressed by the next generation’s interest in our industry. They are dynamic, curious, and passionate about technology.

Focusing on Applied, Industry-Ready Training

The programs offered by Cégep Saint-Laurent are designed to prepare students for the realities of the professional environment. The school offers two college-level certificates (AEC) that aim to develop practical skills directly applicable in the field:

• AEC in Condominium Management (720 hours): Training focused on specialized condominium management, including legal and operational realities of condominium boards.
• AEC in Property Management (900 hours): Program designed for those seeking to work in property management more broadly.

These programs strike a balance between theoretical knowledge and mastery of industry-specific technological tools.
