Why Choose<br />

<strong>Loyalist</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

CAREER<br />

LAUNCH:<br />

“There is a definite shortage of<br />

skilled trades people which will<br />

continue to increase as many current<br />

workers are close to retirement age.<br />

The trades have been neglected and<br />

now industry knows that they need<br />

skilled, trained workers to fill those<br />

roles.This gives me the perfect<br />

opportunity to advance my career.<br />

Linamar, the company I work for, has<br />

approximately 20 plants right here in<br />

Guelph, another in Batawa, and also<br />

an overseas plant.There are many<br />

opportunities for advancement right<br />

within this company – not to<br />

mention those throughout the<br />

industry. I want to travel and see<br />

places that I’ve never seen. I can’t<br />

think of a better way than to have a<br />

job that I enjoy that takes me there.<br />

The opportunities are there. I plan to<br />

take advantage of them.”<br />

MOTIVE POWER<br />

TECHNICIAN<br />

“I was really glad when <strong>Loyalist</strong> decided<br />

to offer year two of the program”<br />

by Nathan Scaife<br />

Motive Power Technician<br />

Detailer, Bob Clute Pontiac-Buick-GMC, Belleville, Ontario<br />

“Based on the class tour to visit area<br />

dealers during my first year, I felt that<br />

employers were very positive about<br />

graduates of the Motive Power<br />

Fundamentals program. This encouraged<br />

me as a student who would be looking for<br />

employment in a short length of time.”<br />

“I was really glad when <strong>Loyalist</strong><br />

decided to offer year two of the program.<br />

This meant that I could return to <strong>Loyalist</strong><br />

to complete my diploma – instead of<br />

having to move to another city and start<br />

at a new college.”<br />
