Keyano College’s two year Power Engineering Co-op Program addresses the critical shortage of power engineers in Northern Alberta. Through a progression of classroom instruction linked directly to the workplace, students gain ‘real time’, paid work experience as they earn 4th and 3rd Class certification as power engineers.

Local and regional industry partners have supported the program since 1996. Current partners make up a Steering Committee which participates in student selection, work practicum mentorship and evaluation, and program assessment. These employers gain access to a trained and skilled pool of qualified 4th and 3rd class power engineers while students gain tremendous opportunities to showcase their technical and employability skills to potential employers. Students see the paid work practicums as a viable and affordable means to achieve long term, well paid, progressive employment.

The Keyano College Power Engineering Co-op program is delivered on site at the Clearwater Campus in Fort McMurray.
