The Electrical Technology program provides electrical apprenticeship training with an emphasis on residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial wiring. Students study the latest electrical fundamentals, codes, various installations, motor controls and solid-state electronic applications, as well as energy efficiency and alternate power systems. This program is recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, and the State of Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes. Upon completion of the program, graduates often achieve successful careers as manufacturing facilities managers; alternate energy installers; electrical inspectors; State government electricians; electrical contractors; or equipment service personnel.
