Entrance Requirements Applicants should be currently enrolled in or have successfully completed credits or equivalent standing from a Canadian school in: Grade 10 Math (20S) Grade 10 English Language Arts (20F) For further information regarding entrance requirements and the Mature Student option to the College, refer to the application/admission process on the College's web site. A successful career in Industrial Electronics usually requires: Ability to distinguish colour accurately Good hand/eye coordination Attention to neatness and detail Ability to implement problem solving techniques Ability and aptitude in mathematics and science Program Length/Start Dates/Location: Full-time students - 10 months Half-time students - 2 school years Class hours - morning (8:30-11:30 am) or afternoon (12:30-3:30 pm) or day (8:30 am-3:30 pm) Location - Henlow Campus Start Dates - September, November, February and April Work Practicum The Industrial Electronics program features a four-week Work Practicum placement in a local workplace which provides students with valuable on-the-job training and experience. Students will apply skills learned in the classroom and develop new skills through working within an actual employer's facility. Employment Opportunities Graduates of the program usually find employment as technicians and assemblers with security, manufacturing and cable industries, as well as companies selling and servicing audio-visual equipment. Several students each year secure employment servicing video lottery machines. The Cumulative Employment Rate for graduates of this program for the period of July 2003 to June 2008 is 81%. Future employment outlook for graduates of this program is considered to be above average. Opportunities are driven by the continued introduction of high-tech electronic products in homes, schools, business offices and production plants. Electronic service technicians are considered a high demand occupation in Manitoba as a result of the continued and increasing demand in the Manufacturing and Information Technology sectors. 2010/2011 Tuition Fee/Costs* Tuition: $3,500.00 Books: (issued by instructor) $300.00 Total Due: $3,800.00 Additional Student Purchase Supplies: $55.00 *Tuition may be subject to change.
