What's new

• In February 2020, Mohawk launched the Climate Change Leaders initiative in partnership with nine Ontario school boards.
  The sustainability education initiative seeks to identify and remove energy waste in schools belonging to the partnering school boards and subsequently developing on-site renewable energy systems such as solar, geothermal and battery storage. Climate Change Leaders explores enhanced experiential learning opportunities in the areas of science, technology, engineering, arts and math, offering new pathways for students toward co-op placements, apprenticeships and new jobs in a low-carbon, circular economy.
• In September 2019, Mohawk became the first Ontario college to provide an Ontario College Certificate to apprentices of its skilled trades apprenticeship programs.
  The provincial certification allows graduates to pursue further studies at other Ontario colleges, across Canada and international partner institutions with the assurance that their previous education is recognized.
• Mohawk officially opened its new EON AVR Development Lab in June 2019.
  Part of the school's new Interactive Digital Centre, the lab offers a virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environment with AV and VR equipment for hands-on skilled trades training. In September 2019, Mohawk expects to introduce Microsoft HoloLens assistive devices in a number of skilled trades programs.
