What is the TechX program?
TechX is short for “Technician Express”--you can complete this program, earn # of credentials in only 7-9 months, and be industry ready for an entry-level position.
Multi-Craft Technologists are preparing for a journey into life-long learning and adjusting as technology changes. Foundations in robotics, machine tool, welding, fabrication and material handling are progressive, and participating students will earn certificates in Gas Welder, Arc Cutter, Production Line Welder, and Forklift Operators upon completion of the coursework.
Two tracks are offered that provide flexibility for a variety of non-traditional, time-challenged adults. The daytime option will allow students to attend classes eight hours per day, three days per week for a seven-month period.

Students will also receive concierge-like services from a Success Coach who will counsel them about financial aid and job placement options available to them.
