Program Overview

Are you a scientifically inclined person with good problem-solving skills and a passion for the environment?
Consider a technical career that emphasizes collection, documentation and analysis of water, air and soil samples in the context of local watersheds and relevant policies and regulations. As an Environmental Technician, you enjoy the variety of working both outdoors and in lab settings, and you have the flexibility and skills to work in industry, government or conservation; monitoring and treating waste streams, documenting ecosystem processes, and conducting environmental site assessments.

Program Highlights

  • Enjoy hands-on experiential training on a 125-acre campus and throughout the Niagara Region.
  • Gain practical experience via a 350 hour paid summer co-op work term.
  • Acquire additional credentials: Drinking Water Operation Class 1 (OWWCO), Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) and Canadian Environmental Practitioners in Training (CEPIT).
  • Graduates can pursue a Niagara College graduate certificate in Ecosystem Restoration or Environmental Management and Assessment, or follow educational pathways to partner institutions that grant credit for the Environmental Technician diploma towards a University degree.

Co-op

A program with a co-op (co-operative education) component means that the curriculum combines an in-class education along with hands-on experience of working a job in the program's field of study.

During co-op work terms students are able to link what they learned in the classroom in a real workplace. Understanding the skills they've developed academically helps create a more meaningful college experience, and means they are better prepared for their career after graduation.
