Numerous sectors rely on drilling skills, so this program opens doors to huge opportunities, many employers, and options to choose which field of drilling students will focus on. The grads are in high demand. Every year, national and international employers recruit at Fleming College on-campus job fairs, and many of Fleming College students have employment offers before they graduate.

Currently, these fields offer employment opportunities for drilling careers:

• Construction Drilling and Blasting • Geotechnical Drilling • Environmental Drilling • Water Well Drilling • Resources Drilling, including minerals and oil and gas exploration • Horizontal Directional Drilling

In this program, students will learn the foundational theory, techniques and methods relating to each of these types of drilling, with an emphasis on safe working practices, while they learn to operate a full range of drilling equipment hands-on.
