Power Mechanics is growing at FCI and the broad based Basic Service program is designed to introduce students to a collection of transportation trade areas, including Automotive, Heavy Duty and Marine and Outdoor Power Equipment. Heavy emphasis is given to shop safety, cooling, lubrication, drivetrain systems and service and repair of associated systems in an organized, safe, industrial work environment. Students in this program will attend half day programs and gain two credits when complete, and will have developed an industrial sensibility that will serve them into the senior levels of Trades Training. Day to day operations will be divided between shop practical work and class theory. An added feature of the Power Mechanics program is the ability to gain some of the credit hours in the virtual learning medium using the CDX training module, allowing students to utilize a strong educational tool throughout their high school career.

Manitoba is currently experiencing and will continue to experience a labour shortage in skilled trades. With a large number of tradespeople considering retirement in the next few years, and fewer people learning a skilled trade, the need for skilled workers and the opportunity for future employment has never been greater.

Frontier School Division also recognizes the importance of providing all learners with the opportunity to receive technical vocational experiences within their high school careers.

With this in mind Frontier School Division has developed the Northern Technical Centre which will give Northern Aboriginal students the chance to access technical vocational education at an introductory level and/or in a specific trade.
