About College Diploma - Chemical Technology

Program Description

Chemical technologists are involved in quality control testing, environmental analysis, product R&D and more. Graduates could work in a variety of settings—industrial plants to commercial and government labs. The mining and resource sectors are big employers, but they will also find opportunities in agriculture, food and manufacturing. Chemical Technology is a nationally accredited, two-year diploma program offered through Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Saskatoon Campus, Idylwyld Dr. Students will get a well-rounded foundation in scientific principles and analytic practices—essential building blocks for a flexible career. They will build knowledge and skills in:

Analytical instrumentation
Basic, organic, physical, analytical and environmental chemistry
Handling and manipulating chemicals
Laboratory quality control and assurance
Recording, processing and reporting data

Learning is hands-on—students will spend almost as much time in labs as in the classroom. And they will apply what they've learned during a four-week industry research project.

Chemical technologists can choose from a variety of job possibilities. Saskatchewan Polytechnic graduates are working as laboratory analysts, laboratory technologists, research technical assistants and sales managers. The mining industry is a major employer, particularly potash and uranium mining companies, but also many smaller exploration companies and agriculture, oil and gas, chemical production, environmental protection, ethanol production, food research and occupational health industries. Look for jobs in commercial, industrial or government laboratories, or for positions in chemical product sales.
