The marine industry is growing and thousands of job opportunities exist right now.
To help meet this demand and diversify the workforce, the federal government, through the Oceans Protection Plan, is providing $2.5 million in bursaries for women and Indigenous peoples to pursue marine education. As a woman or Indigenous person, you may qualify to have 90% of the course cost covered.
In this program, you will learn about diving equipment, systems and procedures, and you will progress into courses on inspection, underwater welding, construction techniques and more. Surface cutting and welding courses are taught on campus before progressing to underwater techniques. Various dive sites throughout Atlantic Canada expose you to the realities of working in tidal waters and strong currents, preparing you to work in any body of water worldwide.
