Overview

This full-time graduate certificate program will help prepare graduates with a previous technical degree or diploma for engineering work in the industrial automation sector. The program offers key practical courses similar to those found in this highly successful Robotics and Automation Technology program.

Applying to the Co-op Stream

The optional co-op stream includes one co-op work term instead of the Guided Career Management course.

Co-operative Education integrates academic studies with program-related experience in the workplace. This results in better-trained workers who are familiar with their professional expectations and have the skills needed to contribute to an organization right from the start.

The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.

Students will be informed of the application deadline and process to apply to the Co-op Stream. Labour market conditions determine the number of co-op seats in optional co-op programs. Every student who meets academic eligibility requirements may not be admitted to the co-op stream.

To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum 80% session weighted average with no dropped or failed courses.
