MONTREAL, Feb. 13, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Alloprof is proud to
announce it will be receiving financial support from SNC-Lavalin
(TSX: SNC) to design an online educational assistance tool. The
company's total investment of $150,000 over the next three years will benefit
tens of thousands of school children whose anxiety levels rise come
exam time.
"It's very gratifying for Alloprof to see a Canadian institution
such as SNC-Lavalin contribute to helping students stay in school
and succeed," says Sandrine Faust,
Managing Director of Alloprof. "School is important—the more people
say it, the more it will be heard and understood. Companies and the
business community play a crucial role. Today, SNC-Lavalin is
making a statement, and it's an inspiring one. This partnership
will enable us to develop a new leading edge service that will
cater to the particular needs of students struggling with math,
science and technology, subjects that account for more than 60% of
all assistance provided by our organization," she adds.
"Education is the central theme of our community involvement, so
we're very excited to be working with Alloprof," says
Erik J. Ryan, Executive Vice-President, Strategy,
Marketing and External Relations at SNC-Lavalin. "We're pleased to
be contributing to the development of a new tool that will help
students prepare for exams. SNC-Lavalin salutes Alloprof for its
leadership and innovations. It has played a key role in the
academic achievement of Quebec
youth for over 20 years."
Over the coming months, this new partnership with SNC-Lavalin
will allow Alloprof to design an online program that offers
interactive educational assistance. It is expected to be up and
running by January 2018, just in time to help students prepare
for their mid-year exams.
