Industrial Technology
Prepare for the high-tech industrial world of today – and tomorrow
Baby boomers are retiring, and there aren’t enough people to transition to their industrial technology jobs. Couple that with jobs transitioning from overseas back to the United States, and high-paying industrial jobs will be plentiful over the next decade for those who have the right skill set. With an emphasis on teamwork and communication, problem solving and critical thinking as well as data presentation, Tidewater Community College’s industrial technology program combines practical experience with the technical knowledge you’ll need to advance in the workplace—now and in the future.
