About Scholarship
The Toromont CAT "Reach Your Destination" Scholarship Program was created in 2003, with the goal of inspiring students to achieve a post-secondary education and choose a rewarding, challenging and exciting career in the skilled trades.
This program targets students who live in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and are entering the Motive Power Techniques/Heavy Equipment Program at Sir Sandford Fleming College and Centennial College. The Scholarship recognizes students for their enthusiasm in their related skills/studies, for their extracurricular activities and for academic performance.
We aim to attract students that will graduate from Sir Sandford Fleming and Centennial College and have been awarded our scholarship to consider a future with Toromont CAT for internship as an Apprentice Heavy Equipment Technician.
In keeping with Toromont's values of equal opportunity, we hope to encourage women to be a part of this technology and industry.
As a future candidate for Toromont CAT, we want to ensure the scholarship recipients have the aptitude, capability and enthusiasm to perform the duties of a Heavy Equipment Technician.
One of our largest branches is located in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), and we're noticing a shortage of trades people in the urban centers. We aim to attract those students who live in the GTA, to choose a career path as a Heavy Equipment Technician.
We also want to make a difference in the lives of the award recipients by assisting them with the financial cost of post-secondary education. We hope that this award will enable them to focus on excelling in their studies and pursing a successful career with Toromont CAT.
