Trades training is a growing educational sector, and Red River College has stepped up to the plate offering newer and better facilities on campus to prepare students for the workforce.
Refrigeration, plumbing, carpentry and electrical are just some of the many trades offered by Red River College.
Each trade offers unique classroom space using innovative design. Classrooms are designed to make learning as hands-on as possible to better prepare students for the challenges they may face in workplace environments.
