CKTB announced that Niagara College’s Motive Power program is getting $365,000 from the federal government – matched by the College – through the 2023 Canadian Apprenticeship Strategy.

This funding will enhance the College’s capacity to train students in hybrid and electric vehicle technology, enabling the purchase of new vehicles, batteries, and charging equipment to help train students on complex vehicle repair and diagnostics.

Wayne Toth, Program Coordinator and Professor in the Motive Power is quoted in the article: “This will allow us to get very involved with high voltage battery rebuilding, testing, and repair. This investment will ensure Niagara College continues to be at the forefront of hybrid, electric vehicle and hydrogen training for our students.”
