This program is well suited for those who enjoy working with mechanical applications.

The Mechanical Technician – Industrial Maintenance (Millwright Mechanical Technician) program is recognized by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities as a co-op/diploma program. Graduates meet the program standards of an Ontario Mechanical Technician, as well as the in-school training of an Industrial Millwright Apprenticeship.

Students who are in good academic standing during the first two terms of the program will be eligible to apply for a four-month co-op job placement as available. A student is considered to be in good academic standing if they have passed all of their courses and have maintained a GPA of 2.5 or greater. Students seeking co-op job placement positions must apply for them and be chosen following an interview process. The college actively pursues companies to participate in the program but cannot guarantee co-op placements for each student.

Please Note: Equipment and hand tools are available onsite for use during the duration of the program.
