Hello there! I would like to encourage you to consider Holland College for your postsecondary studies. I am an international student who came to Holland College to study Electronics Engineering Technology. I have found the experience to be rewarding and enriching, and have found myself immersed in college life far more than I anticipated! My instructors have been very helpful and have made me feel welcome, which can be very important when you’re a long way from home. My classes are small, so I have had the opportunity to get to know many of my classmates very well, and am enjoying myself immensely. If you have any questions or concerns about choosing Holland College, I urge you to contact the helpful and friendly staff of Student Services. I hope to see you here next fall!

Apprenticeship Training
Graduate Opportunities
Apprenticeship training begins after you finish your program at Holland College and are working full-time with a suitable employer. When you are working with a suitable employer, you will register as an apprentice, and Apprenticeship PEI will give you credit for the hours earned and block exams passed while you were at Holland College. Each trade has a certain number of hours that an apprentice must complete before he or she can take block training and move to up to the next level. Once you have completed the required number of blocks and worked the required number of hours for your trade, you can earn your Interprovincial Red Seal by completing an exam. An Interprovincial Red Seal, which is the mark of excellence for your chosen trade and the designation most employers will ask for, gives you the ability to work anywhere in Canada. The most successful path to an Interprovincial Red Seal begins with a full-time Holland College program.
Graduate opportunities for each program are identified with the icon.
For more information about apprenticeship training in P.E.I., visit apprenticeship.pe.ca. This information pertains to P.E.I. only. For apprenticeship in other provinces, visit the apprenticeship branch of the provincial government for that province.
