- Safety & Maintenance Operations
- Mechanical Systems
- Electrical Systems
- Fluid Power (Hydraulics/Pneumatics)
- Electronics & PLC Fundamentals
- Troubleshooting
The IMT Apprenticeship Pathway
The Industrial Maintenance Technician program can also be delivered as a Registered Apprenticeship, allowing individuals to earn wages while gaining structured technical training.
Apprentices complete on-the-job training with their employer while also participating in related technical instruction through AmSkills. The program includes a 12-month competency-based training structure with approximately 285 hours of related technical instruction delivered through online modules, instructor-led sessions, and hands-on lab training.
This model allows apprentices to apply what they learn directly in real workplace environments while building the skills needed to maintain and troubleshoot industrial systems.
