Basically, I chose electrical. I came to
the college and talked to a few
people and basically, what they told me,
when you go out in the industry, electricity is everywhere.
It's going to be needed on every job site you go to basically. So far,
basically, the most interesting stuff we've done, I guess, has been lab work
electrical practices. We've hooked up some control relays and what not
for a panel box you put on your house. My expectations when I graduate would be to
stay here in Newfoundland which
looks like there is a good chance that's gonna happen
and get a job in the power and controls field. Like I said earlier,
electricity is everywhere, I mean, the job
possibilities are endless, I guess you could say.
This is a co-op program, there's two work terms. Right now, I have a work term coming up
in June with Newfoundland Power.
Should be exciting, get to go out in the field and actually experience
what goes on. It'll get your feet wet, I guess and
give you some expectations what to expect when you get out on the job site.
I've got a couple family members who 
already completed the program.
They're out in the workforce, they told me it would be a good program to do,
very interesting. There's lots of job opportunities available
especially within the next coming years in Newfoundland,
all over the country I guess, but mainly Newfoundland because I'm looking forward to staying here.
It's a good program, like, it's a good
experience I find, being at the college
instead of going to University myself and but um
yes lots of job opportunities out there
in the
next three, four, five years in the
oil and gas and
everything that's going on in the province, it'd be easy to get a job.
We have two work terms, one coming up this summer and one in the
in the fall or winter of next year. So basically,
two paid co-op work terms. Looking forward now to getting one next month or two.
The students that, you know, spend the three years
doing the power and controls program are going to be
learning about the Canadian Electrical
Code for several courses and therefore,
they can, you know, design electrical systems from the,
you know, residential level right up to
the industrial level.
