When you enroll in our Electronics Technician Distance education program, you will have full access to our online student support center. One of the many features of this center is our job posting and career search. We have training partnerships with hundreds of companies across North America and they know the quality of the graduates of our program. These employers often contact us when they are seeking new employees and we post these job openings on our student support centre website.
Many of the students who enroll in our program are skilled trades people, such as electricians, millwrights, maintenance mechanics, etc. Although these students may have excellent "hands-on" skills, they often lack the advanced technical knowledge, and College credentials, to progress further in their field. Our program is the ideal solution for tradespeople who are looking to upgrade their skills and experience. Many of the better-paying technical service, installation, maintenance, and design positions that are available require higher levels of understanding of electronic circuits. Our program prepares graduates for this exciting field, while allowing them to continue to work while they complete their course of study.
The electronics industry has undergone radical changes in the early 21st century. Many traditional manufacturing jobs have been displaced and companies that have been slow to automate have largely disappeared. It has also created a tremendous demand for people skilled in electronics design, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Modern electronics troubleshooting is more likely to require a signal analyzer than a soldering iron, and replacing circuit boards instead of individual components.
New technologies such as wireless have created hundreds of thousands of electronics jobs worldwide. Companies in North America continue to automate their manufacturing facilities at an unprecedented rate. Anyone planning their future in electronics can look forward to a wide variety of job opportunities, and the education provided by our program will prepare them to work in this interesting, challenging, and rewarding field.
