Technologists are employed in almost every sector of the Canadian economy – business, industry and government. Technologists and technicians are respected members of the inter-disciplinary teams now required to see projects through from development to completion. Some may work in office environments, some in labs and others on construction sites. Typical courses include mathematics, specialized engineering theory and labs. Students gain hands-on training and experience with state-of-the-art industrial size equipment, in-shop projects, and dedicated computer and network labs using leading edge software. Students who choose to continue their studies at the university level will find themselves well prepared and comfortable with high-end tools. Students interested in co-op positions will find Humber offers a range of services, including working with business, industry and government to identify co-op employment opportunities.
"Everybody in my program is very keen on making a difference in the environment around us. I’m a student at Humber College, for the sustainable energy and building technology program. I chose this program because I get a chance to make an impact on the environment around me and also at the same time, I get a chance to work on homes and buildings and make them safer, cleaner and more energy efficient. As awareness arises amongst all of us that we need to do something about the climate change issue, we have more and more opportunities opening up."

"The eagerness of students willing to learn is surpassed only by the knowledge and professionalism demonstrated by the faculty."
