Partnership with Humber Polytechnic to power the future of the nuclear energy workforce
Strategically located in the province’s energy capital, Ontario Tech is a national leader and one of North America’s top three producers of nuclear sector talent at the undergraduate level. By combining Ontario Tech’s nuclear engineering research expertise, reputation for outstanding academic programming, and leading infrastructure with Humber’s trades training capabilities, we’re generating a workforce pipeline to meet the energy needs of tomorrow, while driving job growth, innovation, and international partnerships.Dr. Steven Murphy, President and Vice-Chancellor.
As Canada expands its energy infrastructure, the demand for a highly skilled nuclear workforce to power the clean energy transition is greater than ever. Ontario Tech University and Humber Polytechnic have joined forces to meet this challenge, combining their unique strengths to prepare the next generation of talent across Ontario, Canada, and the world. They're working alongside select post-secondary institutions across the country to cultivate a workforce capable of supporting Canada’s largest and most critical nuclear developments. These collaborative efforts will keep Canada at the forefront of clean energy innovation, while positioning nuclear power as a key pillar of our net-zero future
