“Being able to compete at the Skills Canada Competition was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. The support I had from everyone around me was a huge blessing and I couldn’t have done it without all of them. The skills I have gained from the Manufacturing Engineering Technician program, along with the incredible and knowledgeable professors I had, has helped me gain an excellent starting ground in this field, and I look forward to seeing where it takes me.”

“I was shocked and amazed to find out that I had won the competition. When I entered the Manufacturing Engineering Technician program two years ago, I had never opened CAD software and my mechanical skills were limited at best. My professors’ dedication and passion for helping me to succeed has taught me the skills I need. They are role models I will follow in years to come. My time at Loyalist has been an incredible journey, one of the best experiences of my life. With the skills that I’ve gained at the College, I can’t help but smile and look forward to future opportunities.”

“It’s an honour to win and I would like to thank the faculty at Loyalist for supporting me. At the competition, it wasn’t easy to complete a milling and lathe project under pressure and tight timelines, but I was able to make the most of the advanced machines, which are very similar to the ones we use at Loyalist. This experience has increased my confidence as I start my documentation position within the maintenance department of Tyco.”
