GROWING THE
NEXT GENERATION
At Toromont Cat, we are committed to preparing the next generation. That’s why we invest in and prioritize several training programs, scholarships and internships.
Training, Scholarships and Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship program
We have put in place a 4-year training program for apprentice technicians designed for mechanics who have already received basic mechanic training for heavy equipment.
In addition to training on Caterpillar heavy equipment or generators, the program supports apprentices throughout the certification process. They can complete both their training and development while working at Toromont Cat. With their technician’s certificate in hand, they will enjoy more career opportunities – in the shop, at worksites or on rotation – and can even migrate to another field such as training, sales or management if that is what they wish to do.
The apprenticeship program gives participants access to:
- A mixed learning model that offers both theoretical and hands-on experience
- Heavy equipment or generator technician’s certification
- A certified technician job at Toromont Cat
- Many career opportunities across the country
- A 2-year interest-free loan to get outfitted with tools
Trade Transition Program
Have experience as a mechanic? Our Trade Transition Program will give you the education, support, and opportunity you need to become a Cat Heavy Equipment Technician.
We’re looking for:
- Licensed Trucks & coach mechanics (310T)
- Licensed Automotive mechanics (310S)
- Heavy equipment mechanics without license
- Military vehicle mechanics (with military certification)
- Agricultural Technician (425A)
Leaders of Tomorrow Program
For more than 35 years, Toromont Cat and its Leaders of Tomorrow program has been training tomorrow’s management rock stars and industry leaders. Even our company’s former president and CEO, Scott Medhurst, and our current COO Joel Couture are program graduates.
The 18 month program is designed to offer practical training on different company services and activities. We believe the best classroom is the job itself, so everyone who goes through our program will graduate with a comprehensive technical and economic understanding of the industry, supply systems, plus the products, services, and key players in the industry.

Created exclusively for high-school students wishing to learn about mechanics or students enrolled at vocational training centres, the program gives them a general idea of what working in the heavy equipment trade is like.
