Program details
Overview
Technologie forestiere (code 190.B0) is a Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered by Cegep de l'Abitibi-Temiscamingue at its Rouyn-Noranda campus, training forestry technologists. The program is delivered through a work-study alternance structure that combines classroom learning with paid work placements, and has no specific secondary-school subject prerequisite. A DEC-BAC agreement with Universite Laval and university transfer agreements with UQAC and l'Universite de Moncton give graduates a defined route into related bachelor's degrees. Coursework covers the conservation, planning, management, and development of forested land, preparing students to coordinate forestry operations such as reforestation, timber harvesting, and applied research, carry out forest-infrastructure work, analyze forest condition, and manage wood-stock inventories. Graduates typically work for forestry companies, forest-engineering firms, government ministries, and Hydro-Quebec, in roles such as forestry technologist or technician, environmental inspector, cutting-operations foreman, or silviculturist. The program suits students who enjoy fieldwork in natural settings, are physically capable of outdoor and sometimes demanding work, want to understand and help protect forest ecosystems, and are drawn to a mix of environmental analysis and hands-on operational coordination.

Le programme offre un cheminement DEC-BAC avec l'Université Laval et une formule d'alternance travail-études.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
