Assiniboine College has announced a new micro-credential to help mid-career trades professionals gain in-demand skills in the renewable energy sector. The 16-week, part-time Renewable Energy Solar Systems and Installation program will be delivered remotely to support flexible learning. Designed for electricians and contractors, the program covers solar photovoltaic system concepts and safe installation practices, and provides students with hands-on experience with solar infrastructure. “This is a fantastic upskilling opportunity for participants and a great opportunity for employers,” said Assiniboine Dean of Community Development Michael Cameron. The program aims to address labour shortages while supporting economic growth.
