LCI Education once again Designated among Canada’s Best Managed Companies

 

Montréal, QC – May 14, 2024 – LCI Education proudly announces that the organization has been named among the 2024 winners of the prestigious Canada's Best Managed Companies program. This marks the third year LCI Education has been recognized for its industry-leading performance, global business practices, and sustainable growth following a rigorous independent review of Canadian-owned companies.

 

This award is another highlight of the exceptional year LCI Education is having. In 2024, the brand celebrates the 65th anniversary of Collège LaSalle Montréal and its 35th year in Morocco. The LCI Education community has also unveiled a new, modern website that brings all its institutions, offerings, and programs together under the same virtual roof. Additionally, two state-of-the-art, futuristic buildings soon open their doors in Barcelona and Vancouver.

"In this milestone year for our brand, we are dedicated to enriching the LCI Education experience by creating human-added value, working smarter, and increasing our core competencies. Our primary goals are to continually improve the student learning experience and to foster the development and well-being of our colleagues."

 

Developing Tomorrow's Leaders

LCI Education distinguishes itself through several key factors: its promise to enhance the learning experience, its investment in technology and innovation, its commitment to continuous learning programs for its employees, and its dedicated, engaged workforce.

 

The organization’s mission is to connect people to opportunities through quality education. LCI Education is proud to be an organization that develops tomorrow's societal leaders, which all starts with high-quality education. Consequently, LCI Education places a significant emphasis on delivering a superior learning experience by incorporating ongoing innovation and technology, offering personalized student experiences, and adapting to a rapidly evolving marketplace.

 

Moreover, as a leading educational organization based in Montréal, Quebec, LCI Education places emphasis in its work on Canadian soil towards important topics such as the improving French language skills of international students at its Montréal campus, the development of tomorrow’s Canadian workforce based on industry needs, and economic benefits for both the cities of Montréal and Vancouver.

 

Standing Out as an Employer of Choice

The retention and development of colleagues is also at the forefront of LCI Education's priorities. Training and developing our talent pool and future organizational leaders is crucial, and employees are encouraged to nurture their skills and acquire new competencies that align with the latest industry trends and changes.

 

“One of the organization’s top priorities is to fortify our human capital and to create clear paths for professional growth and advancement opportunities for our colleagues,” stated Sam Rizk, Vice President of Talent & Culture at LCI Education. “Fostering open communication and actively listening to our colleagues are pillars of our entrepreneurial culture. Our goal is to engage our workforce by cultivating trust and empowerment, ensuring everyone feels an integral part of the organization’s success.”

 

Recognized for the Third Year as an Innovative, World-Class Business

Being acknowledged as an innovative and world-class organization is a true honour for LCI Education. Our unique international academic model empowers each campus to keep its local community flavour while benefiting from our global best practices. This strategy enhances agility and responsiveness to the rapidly evolving demands of local markets, guaranteeing an optimal, high-quality learning experience.

 

“For over 30 years, the Best Managed program recognizes companies who see challenges as checkpoints and obstacles as opportunities,” said Lorrie King, Partner, Deloitte Private, Global Best Managed Leader and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “This year’s winners, including LCI Education, have combined strategic expertise and a culture of innovation to not only drive impactful business outcomes, but serve their communities as well. They should be extremely proud of this designation and use it as a catalyst to continue the work they do every day.”
