The Advanced College Diploma - Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology - Automation and Robotics 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 train in automation and robotics — electrical and mechanical systems, PLCs and controls, robotics, hydraulics/pneumatics and industrial troubleshooting — through extensive hands-on lab work. As manufacturing automates, these STEM-aligned skills are in strong demand. Graduates work as automation, electro-mechanical, robotics and controls technicians across manufacturing and industry.

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 Automation Technician, Electro-Mechanical Technician and Robotics 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.
