Skilled Trades College has teamed up with Robertson Electric and Schneider Electric on a multi year partnership built around one goal: preparing students for the job site from day one. Schneider Electric brings the products installed on job sites across the country. Robertson Electric, one of Canada’s leading electrical distributors, connects the program to the contractors and employers who hire our graduates.
Over the term of the partnership, Schneider Electric product support is helping retrofit STC campuses. The labs where students spend most of their training are being equipped with the same panels, breakers, and devices they will install and service throughout their careers.
