Mohawk College

About Mohawk College

Mohawk College is a public college in Hamilton with a strong skilled-trades reputation, delivering electrician training toward Ontario's compulsory 309A Construction & Maintenance Electrician trade — including the in-school levels of the apprenticeship.

Hamilton is a historic steel-and-manufacturing city at the west end of Lake Ontario, with steady industrial and construction demand across the Hamilton–Niagara area.

Admissions: In Ontario, electrician is a compulsory trade (309A): you register an apprenticeship with a sponsoring employer and complete the in-school levels at a college like Mohawk, then pass the Certificate of Qualification exam (about 9,000 hours total). College entry typically needs an OSSD with Grade 12 English and math. Confirm current requirements and intakes with Mohawk College before applying. (Current as of 2026.)
