In October 2024, we sat down with Alice Berthe, Centre Director at the Kajusivik Adult Education Centre in Kuujjuaq, to learn a bit more about her story.<\/p>\n

Alice has been working at the Kajusivik Adult Education Centre since 2000, but her path with Kativik Ilisarniliriniq started back in 1985, at Jaanimmarik School. Working as a Centre Director is not an easy task; there are many moving parts that demand your attention. \u201cYou\u2019re kind of like a jack of all trades,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n

Problem solving takes up a lot of Alice\u2019s time, especially when it comes to the student residence. \u201cSometimes it\u2019s hard to find employees, such as cooks or night guards. So, from time to time, I\u2019ve ended up being the cook!\u201d she admits.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

Young people nowadays are incredible. They know quite a bit, compared to what we were taught in school. They really impress me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n

Not everyone wants to go down south or to college. Students might want to learn a trade instead, and we offer all those options.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked what inspires her, Alice doesn\u2019t hesitate for a second. \u201cThe students!\u201d she replies, adding that she is amazed by how much she learns from them.<\/p>\n
