CCP: Industrial Maintenance Mechanic Pre- Apprenticeship

Program Description: The Industrial Maintenance Mechanic (IMM) Pre-Apprenticeship Program provides participants with foundational knowledge in four areas: fluid power, industrial electricity, mechanical components, and introductory mechatronics. The program builds toward a basic understanding of mechatronics, the synergistic application of mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering, combined with computer science to build and maintain high-tech equipment. Courses in the IMM Pre-Apprenticeship Program provides basic principles, skills and competencies that would be required of an entry-level maintenance mechanic in a moderately complex manufacturing environment.
