The Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technician - Power Distribution & Control (Co-op) at Lambton College's Sarnia campus is a two-year college diploma that gives you a strong, career-focused, hands-on education in this field.

You will build applied skills in electrical engineering — power distribution and control, circuits and electronics, motors, PLCs and instrumentation — through extensive hands-on lab work with real equipment. As power and automation expand, these skills are in strong demand, especially in Sarnia's industrial region. Graduates work as electrical engineering, power-distribution and controls technicians in utilities, manufacturing and industry.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Lambton College's Sarnia campus in Ontario — an affordable college in Canada's industrial heartland. This program is on Lambton's official PGWP-Ready list (CIP 15.0303), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; the final decision always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Electrical Engineering Technician, Power Distribution Technician and Controls/Automation Technician, leaving with practical, hands-on skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

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