Northwestern Polytechnic has partnered with energy company Ovintiv on the creation of a new Tool Hub on the school’s main campus. The Ovintiv Tool Hub will act as a shared area for the new electrical, power engineering and instrumentation, and millwright labs and contain tools to support trade students’ hands-on learning. NWP CEO Dr Vanessa Sheane said that “by providing students with timely access to the latest tools, technology, and training spaces, we are preparing them to meet workforce demands while supporting the ongoing growth of skilled trades in northern Alberta.” The $500K investment by Ovintiv is part of a $5M industry-supported capital campaign to advance trades education in the region.
