| Description | Our distinguished nationally accredited Forest Technology diploma program bridges the environment with people to ensure the balanced use of forested landscapes. We train forestry professionals to use an ecologically-responsible approach in maintaining the integrity of the whole forest in the short and long-term. This field is anticipating increased job opportunities to augment a rapidly retiring workforce. The public needs to be reassured that our forests are being managed by skilled, responsible forest practitioners.
Environment and Geomatics students have the opportunity to enroll in Co-Op Education. This program consists of four-month work terms that allow students to access unique experiential learning. Co-Op work terms are administrated as regular course work with both cost and reporting requirements. Benefits include maintenance of full-time student status as well as access to employment and experience unavailable outside of the Co-Op Program. | | |
