INDUSTRIAL TRADES Through our School of Trades and Technology
we meet the training needs of sectors such as
construction, extractives, and marinespace.
Many of our skilled trades instructors come
from natural resource industries like forestry, mining,
oil and gas; commercial and residential construction;
automotive service; or metal fabrication and shipbuilding.
Our technical and vocational programs remain at
the forefront of industry, utilizing Program Advisory
Committees to keep curriculum relevant. Each year,
students and instructors participate in Skills Canada
competitions, regularly bringing home top honours.
We offer a variety of foundation and apprenticeship (up
to interprovincial Red Seal qualification) training in:
» Electrical
» Heavy Mechanical
» Automotive Service
» Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning
» Sheet Metal and Metal Fabrication
» Fine Furniture and Joinery
» Horticulture
» Professional Cooking
» Pipefitting
» Gas-fitting
» Plumbing
» Sprinkler-fitting
» Welding
» Nautical
» Carpentry
In addition to trades, we offer (mechanical, civil, mining,
and electronics and computer) engineering technology
education and consulting services
which support construction,
extractives, and marinespace
sectors.
We also offer industrial Health
and Safety certificates such
as Occupational First Aid and
Workplace Hazardous Materials
Information Systems (WHMIS).
The provincial government
recognizes our long-
standing excellence in
trades education having
recently invested $30
million in our new Centre
for Trades Education
and Innovation as a key
foundational piece of
the multi-billion dollar
provincial Liquefied Natural
Gas strategy.
We are one of the largest
and most comprehensive
trades institutions in
Canada. Our trades
accreditation is provided
by the British Columbia
Industry Training Authority
(ITA) which is recognized
provincially, nationally,
and internationally.
We have international
experience building
capacity of institutions
to develop technician-

TECHNOLOGY
Camosun offers several programs for technicians and
technologists, such as:
» Applied Chemistry and Biotechnology Diploma
» AutoCAD Graphics Certificate
» Civil Engineering Technology Diploma
» Computer Network Electronics Certificate
» Computer Systems Technology Diploma
» Electronics and Computer Engineering Diploma –
Renewable Energy

» Mechanical Engineering Technology Diploma
Unique within Canada, we also offer bridge programs where
technology graduates can take an advanced diploma to
transfer to a university for a Bachelor of Science in:
» Civil Engineering
» Electrical & Computer Engineering
» Mechanical Engineering
» Mining Engineering
Our strong partnerships with industry allow us to
provide applied research opportunities for our
students and instructors. Camosun Environmental
Technology student, Kyle Nelson, was named
Co-op Student of the Year for BC/Yukon for his
geomatics work at the Institute of Ocean Sciences.
CTAC is a member of
Canada’s Composites
Research Network, which
links Camosun to a wide
range of industry experts
across the country
and can be drawn on
to provide solutions to
industry and opportunities
for students. CTAC
also works closely
with Camosun’s Co-op
Department, helping
identify student
placements including two
Brazilian students who
worked with a Canadian
UAV (drone) manufacturer.
The Camosun Technology Access Centre (CTAC) provides
a two-way connection between industry and the college’s
technical resources. Leading experts in engineering
design, applied research, automation, instrumentation, and
reverse engineering provide product development and
process improvement services to industry. Our prototyping
services are versatile; CTAC provides local companies with
access to 3D laser scanners, digital modeling software, 3D
printers, cast molding, water jet cutting, CNC machining,
and implementation of robotics and automation. Dedicated
staff work alongside students and local companies to find
solutions to current technical challenges.
We connect industry to the education process by supporting
productivity enhancements such as automation. For
example, a team of four mechanical engineering technology
students developed an automated beer dispensing machine
for Phillips Brewery as one in a series of Camosun projects
undertaken with the local brewery.
A core component of much of today’s research relies upon the use of sensors,
monitoring everything from human performance to ground water contamination.
We can support the development of a system to remotely sample, test and send
reports to improve the quality, frequency and reliability of monitoring under a variety
of isolated conditions in remote locations.

program and completing a few work terms in Whistler

experience that I was able to find my niche. I love finding ways
to deliver exceptional customer service.”

an intercultural context.
