Our Power Engineering Technology diploma arms you with the skills to become a third-class power engineer responsible for controlling large, complex power and process systems, and performing production work in the operation and development of large-scale energy projects

Solar energy technicians, also known as Solar Photovoltaic (PVT) Technicians, are generally responsible for installing, fixing, and maintaining solar energy systems that provide solar power.

An infinite source of clean power: Canada’s bountiful resource. The sun heats our planet to different temperatures in different places and at different times. This unequal distribution of heat is what creates wind as warm air rises and cooler air descends to fill the void. The wind is the ongoing movement of this air. Our vast landscape, our three windy coastlines, the plains, and mountains all contribute to this endless resource. Canada has still only scratched the surface of its massive wind energy potential, which currently powers over 1 million Canadian homes. Tomorrow we hope to do even more. Countries like Denmark already get over 20% of their electricity from wind. If we did the same in Canada, we would have enough wind energy to power 17 million homes! As long as the wind continues to blow, there is a great future in wind energy
