Last week I had the chance to check out some NSCC grads at a really cool job site. Way back in the woods in the Mount Thom area (between Truro and New Glasgow) a big team of welders, machinists, ironworkers and technicians, among others, are erecting 34 wind turbines, which will channel the heavy winds coming off the Northumberland Strait and generate alternative energy for the province.
Driving around a turn on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, I all of a sudden came upon what looked like a scene from a science fiction movie. Stretching far onto the horizon were massive, sleek windmills, some of which were surrounded by teams of workers.
Pretty cool to see that cutting edge projects like this are happening right here in Nova Scotia, and that graduates from some of our programs are right in the thick of things. If you're interested in sustainable energy or trades programs, check out our program listings on the main page or send me an email with questions at thomas.ryan@nscc.ca and I'll help point you in the right direction.
