University College of the North

About University College of the North

University College of the North delivers a longer-form electrical program in The Pas, bringing trades training to northern Manitoba.

The Pas is in northern Manitoba, a forestry, mining and hydro region where local training spares students a long move south to Winnipeg or Brandon.

Admissions: Manitoba electrician is a compulsory, designated trade: college programs build the skills and technical training that feed a registered apprenticeship with Apprenticeship Manitoba and a sponsoring employer, leading to the Certificate of Qualification (Red Seal). Manitoba also requires a separate provincial electrician's licence to work — a two-step process after certification. Confirm the specific program, prerequisites and intakes with University College of the North before applying. (Current as of 2026.)
