Designed for nearly any operator or technician, the Industrial Manufacturing Technician (IMT) program emphasizes foundational skills for a broad range of manufacturing roles. Technical competency development is combined with communication, teamwork, and other business skills to train a well-rounded apprentice. The IMT registered apprenticeship provides new or underskilled manufacturing workers with a robust and diverse skill set. Training prepares employees for more technically advanced roles and for specialized apprenticeship programs such as mechatronics.
