Overview

Diploma in Environmental Technician – Field and Laboratory (Co-op)

Consider a technical career that emphasizes collecting, documenting and analysing water, air and soil samples in the context of local watersheds and relevant policies and regulations. 

As an Environmental Technician, you enjoy the variety of working outdoors and in lab settings, and you have the flexibility and skills to work in industry, government or conservation; monitoring and treating waste streams, documenting ecosystem processes, and conducting environmental site assessments.

Enjoy hands-on experiential training on a 125-acre campus and throughout the Niagara Region.

Gain practical experience via a 350-hour paid summer co-op work term.

Acquire additional credentials: Drinking Water Operation Class 1 (OWWCO), Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) and Canadian Environmental Practitioners in Training (CEPIT).

Graduates can pursue a Niagara College graduate certificate in Ecosystem Restoration or Environmental Management and Assessment or follow educational pathways to partner institutions that grant credit for the Environmental Technician diploma towards a University degree.
