Program Overview Society’s changing views on energy and environment are transforming the utility and construction sectors. The utility sector is currently undergoing a radical shift in operating practice that opens doors to a range of innovative energy projects using small-scale sources such as solar, wind, hydro, fuel cells, gas turbines and biomass to feed electricity, heat and air conditioning to our homes and businesses. The construction industry has adopted a host of new green building initiatives that are quickly increasing awareness and the use of sustainable, integrated architecture and engineering practices for new buildings. Manufacturers have many new products that provide ways to implement advanced energy control in commercial and residential structures. The challenge and opportunity is to learn how to integrate and use all of these modern sustainable energy technologies in a manner consistent with our urban environments.

Through the Energy Systems Engineering Technician program, Centennial College teaches you the fundamental skills to understand energy and its uses in modern society. The program is challenging, but offers a unique blend of technical, managerial and entrepreneurial skills that are highly sought after in modern energy and sustainable building companies.

OpEratinG EnGinEErinG CErtifiCatiOn Graduates of the program have the required knowledge to successfully challenge the TSSA Operating Engineer, 4th Class certification. Some hours of on-the-job training are required to receive certification.

One particular area of significant growth in the financial services sector, is mutual funds. As the baby boomer generation readies itself for retirement, investments in mutual funds have grown correspondingly. Professionals who consult upon and sell mutual funds must be licensed. Accordingly we have developed a one year program that includes a course leading to a licence to sell mutual funds. This licence coupled with courses in marketing, sales, business and communication equip our graduates with the qualifications and skills sought by employers in the industry.

Program Overview

This program is specifically designed for individuals who wish to pursue an exciting career in the continuously expanding financial services environment. Continued growth in the financial services sector provides exciting employment opportunities for qualified individuals. Rationalization and consolidation within the industry have reduced the number of traditional entry-level jobs, such as bank tellers. However, other factors have countered this by creating more stimulating and higher-skilled positions. These factors include a more marketing-focused industry, increased competition, demographics, advances in technology, and a global financial environment.

The program prepares the graduate to practice in areas of mutual funds marketing and sales.
