The Advanced College Diploma - Electrical Engineering Technology at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Toronto is a advanced college diploma that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.

You will build applied electrical engineering skills — circuits, motors and controls, power systems, PLCs, codes and instrumentation — with extensive hands-on labs. Electrical expertise is in strong demand as everything electrifies, and the field aligns with IRCC's STEM categories. Graduates work as electrical engineering technicians and technologists, controls and power technicians across utilities, manufacturing and construction.

Delivered at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Scarborough, Toronto — the flagship campus of Ontario's first public college. This field aligns with the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; confirm the program's CIP code on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list, as the final decision rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Electrical Engineering Technician/Technologist, Controls Technician and Power/Utilities Technician, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.

Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
