Program Description Electricity powers homes, businesses, factories, and even cars. Modern life doesn’t work very well without it. Electricians are the skilled tradespeople who ensure power gets safely from the source to the people and places that need it. And the people and places that need electricity are pretty much everywhere, which is why residential, commercial, and industrial electricians will always be in demand. With smart technology on the rise, trained electricians are value-added members of modern construction teams. In the Electrical Construction program, students will gain expertise in the design, installation, and operation of electrical systems. Following the Canadian Electrical Code and the National Building Code, students will learn fundamental wiring practices, pipe threading and bending techniques, cable tray installation, and other necessary skills needed to start from diagrams and finish with a job done right. When students graduate, they will be ready to join the workforce as a registered apprentice in New Brunswick or another jurisdiction. This program is perfect for students who are physically fit, have good hand-eye coordination, and enjoy working with tools and wiring.
