Confederation College is approved to offer a new Instrumentation and Control Technician apprenticeship program.
Only one other college in Ontario currently offers the program.
“Confederation College continues to expand trades programming that responds directly to regional and industry needs,” said Michelle Salo, President of Confederation College. “This approval supports our commitment to preparing skilled workers for careers that are critical to the growth, safety, and productivity of many sectors across northwestern Ontario.”
Instrumentation and control technicians install and maintain equipment and systems used in industrial processes.
“Instrumentation and control training is highly specialized and increasingly important as industry relies on advanced systems, automation, and process controls,” said Andrew Phillips, Associate Dean, Trades and Apprenticeship at Confederation College. “Adding this apprenticeship training strengthens the College’s role in supporting employers and apprentices with the technical skills needed in today’s workforce.”
This announcement comes hot of the heels of another new apprenticeship program at the college. Last week, Confederation College announced approval of a general machinist program.
The college says they are still working with the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development to acquire more courses and programs.
