Sandvik Coromant Canada continues support of Saskatchewan Polytechnic

Cutting tool and tooling systems provider Sandvik Coromant, Mississauga, Ont., is continuing its support of Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Innovative Manufacturing program at its Regina campus.

The Innovative Manufacturing program, which opened in September 2017, is a two-year diploma program designed to provide students with manufacturing knowledge that includes mechanical and CAD/CAM engineering technologies, welding and machining disciplines, project management, industrial design, and quality control/quality assurance strategies. During the program, students practice skills and complete projects using industry-standard tools and equipment.

“Education and training is imperative for increased competency in modern manufacturing. Sandvik Coromant is proud to help schools like Sask Polytech actively work towards closing the skills gap in Canada,” said Randy Bossie, Sandvik Coromant Canada general manager. “The donation from Sandvik Coromant directly helps students by ensuring that the program has the necessary resources to optimally run the labs and the program. We also provide advanced training and support for faculty and alumni.”
