4College education in Québec is an intermediary type of education between secondary school and the university. Two-year pre-university programs and three-year technical programs are offered by Colleges d’enseignement general et professionnel (colleges/CEGEPs). The Diploma of College Studies (DCS) /Diplome d’études collegiales (DEC) is awarded upon completion of both the two-year and three-year programs, however, the pre-university track of the DCS/DEC is generally required for university entrance. Technical programs usually lead to employment, however, occasionally they can lead to university study.
Children of members of the Board of Directors of The Timken Company, the Executive Officers of The Timken Company, or the trustees and officers of The Timken Company Charitable and Educational Fund, Inc. are ineligible.
