Co-op Diploma Apprenticeship Option
Students have the opportunity to register as Powerline Technician Apprentices with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU). Level 1 and 2 in-school (MAESD) training is offered by Infrastructure Health and Safety Association and is available to students who meet the criteria for coop placements. Students participating in the level one and two training must pay a portion of the cost (approximately $2,000). The placement is optional and is not required to graduate from Cambrian's regular post secondary Powerline Technician program. In order to qualify for the coop placement, students must meet strict academic standards and be successful at securing a coop.
