What we know about who will be participating in these programs Participants ces programmes Il est fort probable que plusieurs de ces l ves : ne se sentent pas capables de r ussir dans un programme d ducation postsecondaire ; It is quite likely that many of these students may not feel capable of succeeding in postsecondary education; 13 SCWI / IJECT

Its also important to note that in spite of the many barriers and issues that they have faced, these students have a sincere desire to take advantage of the second chance that these programs offer. They want to do better, to be successful in earning their diploma, but they will need to be in a caring environment where they feel valued and are supported in reaching their goals. Simply being chosen to participate in the program will not guarantee their success. Il est important de souligner que malgr les nombreux obstacles et difficult s envisag s, les l ves souhaitent ardemment tirer avantage de la deuxi me chance que repr sentent ces programmes. Ils et elles d sirent s am liorer et r ussir obtenir leur dipl me mais on doit leur offrir un milieu valorisant o ils sont soutenus et encourag s atteindre leurs objectifs. Le fait qu ils ont t choisis pour participer au programme ne garantira pas en soi leur succ s. 16 SCWI / IJECT
