Forest Technology Diploma

The Forest Technology Program has been providing forest sector employers with skilled graduates for over fifty years. It provides an ideal starting point for learners excited by the combined career challenges of working in BC’s rugged outdoors and finding modern solutions to current forest management issues. Our primary goal is to provide job-ready graduates to potential employers in both private industry and government. Students spend more than 50 per cent of their class time in the field learning in real-world projects, which enables collaboration with industry professionals and familiarization with current forest technology used by industry employers. The program also emphasizes advanced technology, including mobile data collection, geographic information systems and global positioning systems applications. Graduates are benefiting from our training and the recognition by government, industry and communities of the importance of better forest management
