Thank you to everyone who joined us live for our Virtual Open House! We had a great time connecting with you and sharing everything GBC Technical Training has to offer.
From new program highlights to live demos of our hands-on simulation software, we gave attendees a full look at what our programs offer.
We had an amazing time answering your questions covering topics such as:
Building a greener workforce: George Brown College launches new online certificate programs to help meet the demand for skilled trades in solar energy.
A career as a wind turbine technician isn’t for everyone. It requires a passion for outdoor work, the ability to work at heights, and a solid understanding of how these complex systems operate. While education is not the only path into the field, it can be a valuable step in gaining the technical skills and knowledge needed to install, maintain, and repair wind turbines. George Brown College’s Wind Turbine Technician Certificate Program offers an opportunity to develop these skills, helping prepare individuals for the demands of this growing industry.
Globally, businesses increasingly require skilled Electronics Technicians to ensure efficient operations. With so many companies relying on advanced technology and automation to power their production lines, there’s a growing demand for technicians who can design, troubleshoot, and maintain the electronic systems that keep everything working efficiently.
Electronics permeate every aspect of our world, from kitchen appliances and aerospace to medicine and advanced manufacturing, and the technology never stays still. Recent years have seen the rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, solid-state power electronics, and advanced battery manufacturing technology. Emerging technologies include organic and biodegradable electronics (with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) already in use), wearable medical devices, and pervasive artificial intelligence (AI).
We would like to thank everyone again who joined our Winter 2025 Virtual Open House.
We had a fantastic session and truly enjoyed answering your questions on topics such as:
The holiday season is here, we wanted to update you on how the holiday break will impact our GBC Tech Training technical, tutorial, and administrative support.
The Student Support Center will be closed on Friday, December 20 at 5:00 p.m. and will re-open on Thursday, January 2nd, 2025.
Automation has found a way to embed itself within the renewable energy ecosystem, promising to make wind and solar power generation more efficient than ever before. Sustainable energy generation is already something that many consider to be intrinsically linked to a brighter future for all.
We hosted our Virtual Open House on October 2nd for prospective students interested in our online Certificate programs including Electronics, Electromechanical, Automation, Electric Vehicles, PLCs, Robotics, and our recently launched Wind Technician program.
The interactive session explored topics and answered a wide range of questions such as:
Conventional wisdom dictates that electric vehicles (EVs) are the cleanest alternative to cars burning fossil-fuels. The federal government’s target of 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035 is based on the widespread adoption of EVs, and consumers are buying plug-in cars in record numbers. Last December, when Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault announced regulated targets for EV sales in the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard he declared, “There’s no mistaking it. We are at a tipping point.”
