Program Code: CC.IMTMECHMAIN
Industrial Maintenance Technology (IMT) Mechanical Maintenance certificate is a program that prepares students to succeed as mechanical maintenance technicians in industry. Graduates perform mechanical maintenance of manufacturing equipment such as machine tools, process equipment and buildings systems to keep production operational. Mechanical Maintenance technicians study subjects from a wide variety of technical disciplines ranging from welding to fluid power. This is a high-wage, high-demand field that typically attracts talented people who are excellent problem solvers and enjoy challenging work.
