If the field of innovation interests you and you want to contribute to technological advances across various work sectors, Cégep de Saint-Jérôme offers four programs that allow you to refine your knowledge and work in a constantly evolving environment.
The college stands out in several ways in the technology and innovation industry, notably for being the first to offer the Attestation of College Studies (AEC) in Electric Vehicle Technology. It is also the only one in Canada to host the Composite Materials Transformation program and its school-factory. Students can also train in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science techniques. The latter features a smart apartment enabling the learning of home automation. Throughout their studies, students will develop logical thinking, problem-solving skills and the ability to optimize various processes to improve performance.
The presence of many companies linked to transportation electrification in Saint-Jérôme, as well as the close collaboration of the two college technology transfer centers affiliated with the Cégep — the Centre de développement des composites du Québec (CDCQ) and the Institut du véhicule innovant (IVI) — make the region a true hub in this industry.
There is a pressing need for labour and graduates’ expertise is sought after by companies. Whether to obtain a certification in this field, join an innovative profession or participate in the design and manufacture of various projects, the opportunities are endless.
Some highlights about the training offerings:
- Employment rate over 95%, across all programs;
- Average salary between $17 and $30 per hour;
- Saint-Jérôme represents a true hub for transportation electrification thanks in part to the programs offered by Cégep de Saint-Jérôme, the presence of many companies from the field and the Institut du véhicule innovant, a college technology transfer center;
- AEC in Electric Vehicle Technology: a unique program in North America, which is one of the first initiatives to emerge from the Quebec government’s 2015–2020 Action Plan for the Electrification of Transportation;
- Computer Science
- : a diversified three-year program, featuring a smart apartment and offering a 15-week internship;Composite Material Processing
- : less theory and more practice! Thanks to the school-factory’s cutting-edge pedagogical approach, students work in a unique learning laboratory. The Centre de développement des composites du Québec collaborates closely with the program, notably by offering work-study internships (ATE);Mechanical Engineering
: a program that enables the design and optimization of mechanical systems, vehicles, aircraft, engines and even industrial machinery.Candidates wishing to take part in the design of various future projects can register for the Composite Material Processing, Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering programs before the 1st March on SRAM.QC.CA
, and for the AEC in Electric Vehicle Technology until April 2.
