Collège Boréal has announced the launch of a new course on the maintenance of battery electric vehicles. The course, which is the first of three components of the training, will be offered online and will take 40 hours to complete. Students will be introduced to a variety of different topics, including basic knowledge about battery electric vehicles and workplace safety. “Collège Boréal is proud to be the first college to offer training in maintenance of battery electric vehicles,” said Boréal Director of Business Development Julie Nadeau. “This customized training was developed in collaboration with several partners: businesses that use these vehicles as well as their manufacturers. It will certainly bolster skills and provide a qualified workforce in a field that is increasingly vital for mining companies.”
