Job Corps’ Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills needed to work with electrical systems in homes, businesses and factories, including how to install, maintain and repair electrical power, communications, lighting and control systems in places of all sizes, read blueprints and diagrams and will need to follow state and local building regulations, and use various hand tools and power tools. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and certifications in construction health and safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
This course will introduce the student to the fundamentals of linear and angular measurement. Students will learn to measure a variety of parts produced in a manufacturing environment using both fractional and decimal measuring equipment. Students will prove competency in basic measurement practices though a series of shop exercises.
The Robotics and Automation Technology program provides an introduction to industrial robotics and explains how they are used in automated systems. The primary focus of the program is on automated processes, the role of robots within those processes and all related support equipment. Successful completer of this program will have an advanced understanding of robot operations, programming, material handling techniques and technical system components.
The Electro-Mechanical Technologies (EMT) program contains nine (9) phase termcourses, 38 weeks, and 36 semester credit hours. The objective of the EMT program is totrain and prepare students for entry as service and maintenance technicians in jobs thatutilize technologies employed in the fields of air conditioning (both heating and cooling),and refrigeration. Students completing this program should have an understandingof mechanical and electrical principles and will have practical exposure to diagnosing,servicing and repairing common types of problems in related equipment. Upon successfulcompletion of this program, students will receive a Diploma.
Industry demand for highly skilled, problem-solvers continues to increase, but there is a lack of qualified employees with the high-tech, design engineering and critical thinking skills needed to fill Advanced Manufacturing positions. The Industry 4.0 certificate prepares students for these Advanced Manufacturing positions by offering them the opportunity to earn FI4.0CP Industry Certifications. To have the opportunity to earn these Certifications, students will complete illustrative labs and assignments provided by FI4.0CP certified instructors.
Job Corps’ Advanced Welding training program teaches students advanced skills like joining metals using a variety of techniques and processes, understanding and following safety procedures, including properly using safety equipment, and identifying and explaining the composition and classification of metals, and designing and building a fixture for assembling simple parts. These skills prepare students for a career working in a variety of jobs for manufacturing companies, construction companies, trade shops, shipbuilders or repair shops. Students who complete Advanced Welding training at Job Corps can earn nationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society (AWS) and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS).
Mechanical Engineering Technology gives you the skills and knowledge to do just that. Program graduates take engineers' innovative ideas and transform them into products. Mechanical engineering technicians take a concept from theory to reality by using the latest software in industry to create the technical drawings used in the production process.
Basic metal and plastic machine operators adjust machines to control speed, material feed, and path of the cut, and ensure the machines are set up and operating properly. Courses will cover machine blueprint reading, machine shop safety, theory and practice in lathe and milling machines, and use of standards, such as the Machinery’s Handbook.
Graduates will learn to analyze, troubleshoot, and align mechanical and automated industrial machinery. Program course work includes electronics, industrial wiring, motor controls, programmable logic controls, instrumentation, industrial fluid power, manufacturing automation concepts and robotics.
