The 小蓝视频east College celebrated the grand opening Aug. 21 of its newest training facility and apprenticeship program.
The powerline technician training centre will house 小蓝视频east College鈥檚 newest apprenticeship training program, powerline technician. The facility, located in the RM of Weyburn鈥檚 Evanston Park, is equipped with both a hands on training lab as well as ample classroom space.
小蓝视频east College first heard of the availability to submit a request for proposals (RFP) in July 2019 when longtime course provider SaskPower indicated its desire to shift its training focus. 小蓝视频east College has a rich history of providing not only industry and safety training programs but in recent years has delivered many successful cohorts of Saskatchewan apprenticeship students in conjunction with Saskatchewan Apprenticeship Trade and Certification Commission (SATCC).

鈥淲e assembled a team and got to work. I could not be more proud of the college for 小蓝视频 awarded this training contract. It鈥檚 important to 小蓝视频east College and it鈥檚 important to southeast Saskatchewan.鈥�
