Nova Scotia Community College and Suncrest College have each announced new programming for 2026. NSCC will launch a wind turbine technician program at its Port Hawkesbury’s Strait Area Campus. The one-year program will initially focus on onshore wind turbines, before expanding to include an offshore component by 2035. Suncrest will expand access to its Primary Care Paramedic program by offering the course in Tisdale, giving local students the opportunity to train without relocating. “With this program and profession both in high demand, offering it in a smaller community provides an alternative pathway for students who may prefer a different post-secondary experience,” said Suncrest VP, Academics & Learner Engagement, Teri Thompson.
