Program Description

The Electrical Trainee Certificate program has been designed to meet a large variety of student and electrical industry needs. The student will be required to take six of the Electrical Maintenance Technician (ELMT) core classes along with vocational-related courses. In addition to the core classes, the student may select the electrical sales option with the cooperative education work experience component or choose four additional courses from the ELMT list.

This selection will be made with the aid of professional/technical counselors, faculty or industry advisors to best meet the needs of the individual student. Students who complete the certificate requirements will be ready to seek employment as sales associates in the electrical industry or as electrical trainees and can continue to develop their electrical skills through on-the-job work experience. Students may enter the program whenever the courses are offered. It should be noted that some courses do have prerequisites. ELMT courses may be taken in any sequence providing the student has fulfilled any prerequisites or has instructor permission.
