Intro to Industrial Maintenance
Get under the hood of modern industry.
Stop wondering how things work and start making them move. This program is for those who want to build the fundamental skills needed to operate, install, maintain and repair the heavy-duty machinery that keeps the world turning. You will get hands-on experience with common tools and materials while diving into the mechanics of industrial pumps and the fundamentals of fluid dynamics. By the time you finish, you will understand the theories of hydraulics and pneumatics like the back of your hand.
Because a shop floor is only as good as its safety record, you will also earn an official 10-hour Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) certification. This credential gives you instant credibility with employers who need experts they can trust. Whether you plan to jump straight into a career or use this as a springboard into the NICC Industrial Maintenance Technician degree programs, you are building a foundation that is as solid as the equipment you will fix.
