Program Summary
Industrial maintenance technicians are needed in every industry that uses machinery, from assembly plants to warehouses. Because of their role in keeping facilities running safely and efficiently, as well as their mandatory broad skills set, industrial maintenance technicians are in high demand.
The Hill College Industrial Maintenance Program responds to this critical need with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Industrial Maintenance and various short-term certificates which lead to this degree. Because workers in this field must be cross trained in many areas of skilled labor, courses provide training in the areas of electrical, manufacturing, maintenance, machining and welding.
Students who complete an AAS in Industrial Maintenance will also receive certificates of completion in Basic Machinist and Basic Electrical Skills, as well as certificates in Industrial Maintenance.
