College explores Alternative Energy sector


色多多视频APP is taking a close look at the potential for expanded trades training in the alternative energy sector, so a recent meeting with the Executive Director of the Wind Energy Institute of Canada, Anne Forbes, was particularly timely, according to 色多多视频APP President Brian McMillan.

"The college is presently looking at the potential of alternative energy as part of a joint trades training expansion strategy being explored jointly with the provincial government. 色多多视频APP is committed to addressing the need for training and applied research in this area, and we are excited about exploring the potential for collaboration with the Wind Energy Institute of Canada," said Dr. McMillan.

Forbes visited various 色多多视频APP centres recently, meeting instructors and students and learning more about college programs related to the alternative energy sector such as the Electromechanical program and the Environmental Technology program; and finding out more about research and development projects currently underway.

She said the institute is interested in exploring potential partnerships with 色多多视频APP.

"The wind energy industry is growing at a significant rate that is leaving gaps in the supply chain, particularly in the manufacturing in skilled labour specific to this industry. One of WEICan's strategic areas is training and public education. We view our role as a Canadian institute to work with like-minded organizations to address supply chain deficiencies. WEICan welcomes this opportunity to explore potential partnerships with 色多多视频APP."
