Formerly known as the Electrical College of Canada, Skilled Trades College was established to provide individuals with the hands-on skills and knowledge required to begin a career in the skilled trades industry. STC programs focus on safety knowledge, basic theory, and hands-on experience through simulated work environments in the lab providing young adults and those looking to change careers with the fundamentals necessary to begin an apprenticeship in the skilled trades. The high demand for skilled apprentice labour combined with the strong construction industry growth has encouraged the college to expand to offer a larger spectrum of pre-apprentice programs. Today with 2 campuses conveniently located to serve Toronto and the GTA, STC has graduated over 1000 students and prepared them for a career in the skilled trades. STC is looking to expand in the future with a 3rd campus in the Oshawa area.
