Industrial Manufacturing Technician (IMT) Program
The Industrial Manufacturing Technician (IMT) program provides comprehensive training to prepare students for entry level careers in modern manufacturing environments. This hands-on course covers essential topics such as mechanical systems, electrical components, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), hand tool identification and safety, precision measurement instruments, hydraulics and pneumatics, and mechatronics.
In addition to technical skills, students will earn certification in CPR, AED, and first aid to ensure workplace safety and emergency readiness. The program combines practical instruction with real-world applications to equip graduates with the knowledge and skills sought by employers in the manufacturing sector.
Students should expect to spend approximately 32 hours per week engaged in training—roughly half of that time (16 hours) will be on campus for scheduled lab work once lab rotations begin.
All materials and supplies are included in the training cost.
Students will complete certification testing as an integral part of the training, earning credentials through NC3 and industry leaders such as Festo and Snap-On. The costs of certification are covered by tuition.
Training Cost: $2,000
Financial Aid is available for qualified applicants.
