Electricity Program Information
Important Information to Know
As part of the one-year technical diploma in Electricity, you are automatically enrolled in the Industrial Wiring Certificate which you will complete as part of the program.
Students enter a “cohort” or group when they start the electricity classes. We offer two cohorts:
Day cohort
• Full-time
• Monday – Thursday, 8 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
• Mark Wamsley
Evening cohort
• Full-time
• Monday – Thursday, 4 p.m. – 10 p.m.
• Jeanette ‘Gus’ Boyle-Gustavus
You will need to notify the advisor of your cohort preference at the program advisor meeting.
Field Day
In addition to a Program Advisor Meeting, electricity students need to attend a mandatory field day in May that typically lasts 3 hours from approximately 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
During this time you’ll meet the Electricity faculty and your new peers! The faculty will outline program expectations and you’ll learn more about both union and non-union apprenticeships. In addition, we will tour the lab/shop, provide the list of required tools, and share details about College resources.
Watch your email for an official invite and plan to sign up.
Tools/Uniforms
Students are required to purchase specific tools for this program. You will be given a list of required tools and order through a selected vendor that has agreed to give our students a discount on the tool kits. The cost is approximately $500.
More detailed information regarding tools will be available at the Field Day.
