The Skilled Trades Techniques program provides students with the opportunity to explore a variety of trades prior to committing to one specific trade. In the first year, examine four different trade areas such as carpentry, electrical, plumbing, welding, truck and transport, and marine diesel mechanics. They will also acquire general skills such as safety, rigging and hoisting, tools and equipment, communication skills, mathematics, and blueprint reading, which are applicable to any trades position.

In the second year, students will specialize in the specific trade of their choosing and gain in-depth skills in this area. They will be on their way to a full-time career as a tradesperson in their given field. There is a focus on practical hands-on learning in shops throughout the program. Trades people are in high demand throughout New Brunswick with many of the students having job offers even before graduation.

Upon successful completion of this 2 year program students will graduate with a diploma in Skilled Trades Techniques: TBD (Depending on their choice of trade specialization).
