WHAT IS APPRENTICESHIP?
The apprentice learns the skills of the trade through on-the-job training working alongside an experienced journeyman who passes on the skills they have learned over the years. In addition to the on-the-job training, the apprentice receives related classroom instruction that produces competency and pride that leads to becoming a true craftsman.
Another true advantage to apprenticeship is you earn while you learn. Apprentices start earning a livable wage as soon as they start working. They receive pay advancements throughout their apprenticeship based on performance.

Electromechanical Instrumentation Technology (AAS)
Purpose: The Electromechanical Instrumentation Technology Associate in Applied Science Degree is designed to provide students with additional knowledge beyond our Residential and Commercial Electricity program in the areas of Programmable Logic Controls, Instrumentation, Computer Electronics, and Physics. Graduates of this program will have solid skills to work in the production, manufacturing and process industries. The graduate will possess knowledge of the control process in manufacturing and production, troubleshooting, and maintaining such systems.
Graduates from the program will be prepared to assume positions in manufacturing facilities where the process is computer controlled and involves programmable logic circuits and both electronic and pneumatic control. This program has been developed through a cooperative partnership with the local paper production industry. It is designed, however, to be applicable to a variety of manufacturing and production industries. Students will have the opportunity to start careers in the manufacturing sector locally and regionally as well as transfer to four-year programs in the engineering fields.
Program Learning Outcomes: Students who successfully complete the Associates in Applied Science degree in Electromechanical Instrumentation Technology will be able to:
- Understand and apply knowledge in layout, assembly, installation, and troubleshooting of fixtures, devices, services, heating systems, pumps, motors, and motor controls used in residential, commercial, and industrial locations.
- Understand and apply knowledge of electrical theory and techniques of the trade, including blueprint reading, wiring, pipe bending, motor control, switching, and power circuits.
- Demonstrate ability to understand requirements of the National Electrical Code in all wiring installations.
- Qualify for employment opportunities with manufacturing facilities, companies using process control systems, and industrial maintenance and troubleshooting companies.
