Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM
The reputation of this program has been firmly established over the last 20 years by outstanding, highly qualified and industry-experienced faculty and support staff, who develop one-on-one relationships with every student to ensure their success. This program, in which women and men can excel equally, combines theory and hands-on experience in our machine shops and computer labs and on our state-of-the-art computer numerical control (CNC) equipment. Extensive time is spent in the shops.
In semesters 3 and 4, students develop and produce two projects that consolidate the skills they learn during the program to help prepare them for the technical challenges that they may face in the workforce. All students will augment their technical training with courses in mathematics, communications, business practices and general education.
 “It’s the culture of collaboration at George Brown College that empowers students to achieve success beyond their expectations.”

THE INDUSTRY
The tooling industry has been and will continue to be the backbone of production in many industrial sectors, such as transportation, food and beverage, aerospace/aeronautical, medical, automotive, pharmaceutical and agricultural machinery and equipment, as well as nuclear and conventional energy production and distribution.
Tool and die skills cover the spectrum from traditional manufacturing to sophisticated high-speed, high-precision manufacturing on computerized equipment that is required in the design and production of highly specialized machinery. The future of the tooling industry will depend on highly educated graduates, and our program gives graduates a solid foundation and an advantage to succeed in this rapidly evolving industry.
YOUR FUTURE STUDY OPTIONS
By taking certain courses during the summer following graduation, students can go directly into semester 3 of the Mechanical
– Design program (T121).
