There are more than 18 million motor vehicles in Canada; it’s like job security for auto body technicians. The Auto Body Technician program combines classroom learning with hands-on training in state-of-the-art shop facilities. When you graduate, you’re ready for work at auto body repair shops, dealer repair departments, equipment manufacturers, even aircraft manufacturing plants. Trade time and academic credit may be available for grads who find employment in the trade and register as apprentices.

As vehicles become more sophisticated, demand increases for technicians capable of diagnosing and repairing problems. The Automotive Service Technician program prepares you for a career in the automotive industry. Job opportunities are more diverse than you might think—work in auto repair shops, service stations, engine machine shops, engine building plants, and sales, service and warranty departments. Trade time and academic credit may be available for grads who find employment in the trade and register as apprentices.

You’ll need more than a hammer and nails to be a carpenter in today’s construction industry. The combination of classroom learning and practical training prepares you to work in residential and commercial construction. Grads get jobs with general contractors, subcontractors and framing contractors. Trade time and academic credit may be available for grads who find employment in the trade and register as apprentices.

One program, two certificates … double the career options. Fabricator-Welder is a dual trade program that prepares you to work in either the welding or steel fabrication trade. You could be doing custom fabrication, construction, mass production, and maintenance in petroleum, mining, forestry, railway and other industries. Trade time and academic credit may be available for grads who find employment in the trade and register as apprentices.

A machinist is to metal work and machines as a carpenter/cabinet maker is to wooden products. Machinists are the “how it’s made” people. From the plastic parts in your cell phone to the tires on your car, machinists have made the moulds and dies for manufacturing these items. Everything made of steel, aluminum and plastic is made directly from a machine/manufacturing plant. The Machine Shop program provides a solid foundation in basic machining skills. When you graduate, you’ll be ready for work in custom machine shops, computer machine tool operation firms and large and small shops making parts and repairs. Trade time and academic credit may be available for grads who find employment in the trade and register as apprentices.

The Parts Management Technician program provides training in all types of parts, parts applications and locations. Grads work in automotive, recreation vehicle and heavy truck dealerships; wholesale distribution centres; and for mines, mills, government departments and industrial suppliers. Trade time and academic credit may be available for grads who find employment in the trade and register as apprentices.

Power sports equipment technicians specialize in “big toys”—snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), outboard marine engines and motorcycles. The increasing complexity of snowmobiles, motorcycles and ATVs has created a strong market for technicians with the specialized skills to service them. It’s a career that requires good mechanical skills as well as an interest in new technology and computer diagnostics. SIAST’s Power Sports Equipment Technician program prepares you for entry-level jobs with major dealers and manufacturers.

Skilled welders are in demand in just about every industry, making it a career with great mobility. SIAST’s Welding program provides the foundational knowledge and skills you need to operate welding equipment and perform basic welding operations. Grads are in demand in Saskatchewan’s thriving oil and gas, mining, manufacturing and construction sectors.
