Machine Tool

It’s really nice having the small class size, because you can turn something on the lathe, and then you can just go straight over to the mill instead of having to wait for someone to finish what they’re doing.

Welding

I chose the welding program at Sheridan College because I really like to make sculpture art and when I was doing my research I saw that the welding program here was the best.

Construction Tech

The new addition to this construction tech program with this facility has been super helpful because it gives us an enclosed space to do a lot of work that we wouldn’t really be able to…Having a shop we can build an entire house in is awesome because we don’t have to worry about the elements and it doesn’t slow down the production at all.

Diesel Tech

The diesel program is not just about diesel engines, it’s much much more than that…If you’re thinking about joining the diesel program, just do it. It’s a great program. You won’t regret a single thing about it.

World-Class Facilities

The Sheridan College Technical Center houses roughly 52,000 square feet of instructional labs, classrooms and flexible training space for welding, machine tool, diesel and construction trades.

The college has also recently developed the Innovation Center, an advanced manufacturing and construction trades hub, which opened in 2024 and offers state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, flexible spaces and incubator programs tied to industry and community-based training, as well as the offices for our Commercial Motor Vehicle program.

Together, these facilities reflect Sheridan College’s strategy of aligning CTE offerings with regional workforce demand, equipping students with real-world skills and exposing them to industry-relevant equipment and scenarios.
