Electricity

Electricians install, maintain and troubleshoot electrical systems and equipment in homes, offices, institutions and industrial plants. Students learn residential, light commercial and industrial wiring through a variety of hands-on activities and projects. During the second year of the program, students will also receive instruction in solar photovoltaics using state-of-the-art equipment.

In partnership with MVCC, students learn mechanics, electronics, motor control systems and automation which drive the design, operation and maintenance of all modern complex machinery. During this learning experience, students will attend MVCC, free of charge, and earn college credit that leads to a direct pathway to entry level positions in advanced manufacturing.
