Workforce Training Programs

This 138-hour program is offered through four courses covering topics in direct current, alternating current, semiconductors, and digital circuits. These skills-based classes are made up of lecture and lab components. Lecture components are offered online asynchronously, and lab components are completed in person asynchronously, by appointment. Though the program is offered asynchronously, students should expect to spend 10 hours per week for 15 weeks to complete the training content. By the end of this program, students will be able to: demonstrate effective electrical and shop safety including PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) use; follow safety procedures, and lock-out tag-out protocol; measure AC & DC voltages and currents; explain fundamental electrical principles; recognize and troubleshoot diode, transistor, thyristor and opamp circuits; write simple C language programs; interpret documents and prints describing various electronic circuits. At the successful completion of this program, students will be eligible to earn the Electrical & Electronic Troubleshooting Certificate.
This 177-hour program is offered through six courses covering topics in direct current, alternating current, control systems, motors, VFDs, and instrumentation. These skills-based classes are made up of lecture and lab components. Lecture components are offered online asynchronously, and lab components are completed in person asynchronously, by appointment. Though the program is offered asynchronously, students should expect to spend 10 hours per week for 17 weeks to complete the training content. By the end of this program, students will be able to: demonstrate effective electrical and shop safety including PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) use; follow safety procedures, and lock-out tag-out protocol; measure AC & DC voltages and currents; explain fundamental electrical principles; create and analyze; construct industrial controls systems that integrate a VFD, HMI, and motors with a PLC using Allen Bradley Studio 5000 and Factory Talk programs; interpret documents and prints describing various electronic circuits. Students that complete this 6-course program will earn a certificate as an Electrical System Specialist.
This 40-hour course runs over one week, with 5 in-person, 8-hour sessions blending theory and hands-on labs. As a result of this training, participants will be able to calculate behavior of basic electrical circuits; predict the current, voltage and power of an electrical circuit using a simulator; measure DC and AC resistance, voltage and current; measure and characterize the behavior of switches, relays, wire, electrical protection devices, indicators, thermocouples and heating elements; and demonstrate and describe safe wiring and grounding practices.
