Just an FYI on another Engineering Area:
Mechanical Engineering
Since 1999 there have been 8 confirmed 
graduates in total from the Mechanical Engineering 
diploma program and the
Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering programs.
The year 2017 was the most recent graduate.
Have you ever considered a career in mechanical engineering?
You will need to have a good grasp on mathematics and physics.
Labour statistics is anticipating demand to increase over the 
next few years.  This is a career that uses materials science to design, 
manufacture, and maintain operation of machinery (many of the items
we use today).

Engineering careers update Published on Wednesday,29 April, 2020

A decade ago was... 
the last time there was a confirmed post secondary graduate 
from Industrial Woodworking program in 2010.
The student was hired immediately at that time
and the employer would occasionally check in for more graduates for a while.
If this something you are interested in check out the 2 year program at your local
colleges.
