Program details

Overview

A four-week, full-time work placement at the end of the fourth semester lets students observe and take part first-hand in the protocols, processes and daily operations of an environmental-technician workplace, applying classroom learning in a real setting. Placements may take place at approved sites that are local, regional, out of province or international, whether private or public. The placement gives access to equipment and processes not otherwise available in the program and builds awareness of the industry and potential job paths; successful completion of the placement and its assessments results in a pass grade for the course.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), with the majority of Grade 11 and 12 courses at the C, U or M level, including Grade 12 English at the C or U level, Grade 11 Math at the C, U or M level, and Grade 11 or 12 Biology or Chemistry at the C or U level. English-language proficiency follows the institution's requirement for certificate, diploma and advanced-diploma programmes: IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 78, PTE Academic 55, or Duolingo English Test 110 overall with no sub-score below 85; domestic applicants meet it through the Grade 12 English prerequisite. Applicants missing the academic prerequisites may enrol in the college's Career/College Prep programme, offered free to Ontario residents 18 or older, and those with transcripts from outside Canada are directed to the college's transcript-evaluation process.
