Additional Information

Mohawk College students enrolled in the two-year Electrical Engineering Technician - Power program at the Stoney Creek Campus will be earning more than a technician diploma! Graduates of this program will have taken the in-school portion of apprenticeship training in the related trade - (442A) Industrial Electrician. This allows graduates to enter an apprenticeship - for which many large employers are demanding a technician diploma for entry - with the apprenticeship in-school training completed.
