Electrical Construction and Industrial

Electricians work in a wide variety of buildings and facilities – on everything from lighting and climate control systems, to communication equipment. An electrician’s work involves assembling, installing, commissioning, testing, maintaining, servicing and operating electrical systems and equipment.

Employers are looking for electricians capable of working in residential, commercial and industrial settings who can respond to constant changes in technology. This program offers practical and theoretical training in both construction and industrial trades. You get hands-on and practical training. This program teaches a balance of theory and practical application, which means you read and study how to do a job and then you actually get to apply those skills in a work-like setting.

Field experience (work placement) is a mandatory credit course completed at the end of your program. It provides you with the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills outside of the classroom. Opportunities are typically unpaid and last approximately 5 weeks.
