Electrical Engineering Technician

This program will equip you with electrical and electronic theory and practice –  the tools you need to take on entry level positions or an apprenticeship in the electrical industry.

Within our Electrical Engineering Technician program you will learn about programmable logic controls (PLCs), electrical and electronic circuits and systems, instrumentation, cabling, network engineering, and electrical machines and controls. Extensive practice labs will provide you with ample opportunity to develop skills required to assume entry level positions or an electrical apprenticeship.

A technical skills shortage is looming both regionally and nationally in Canada. This program has been designed to help fill these technical positions as the manufacturing sector becomes more specialized, the construction industry grows, and retirement rates increase.
