Industrial Careers Building

NOW OPEN!

With new businesses and industries moving in, the need for skilled workers is on a steady rise. COM is responding to that demand in a major way through its new state-of-the-art Industrial Careers Building (ICB). The building will offer an innovative and dynamic learning and training environment that is responsive to local industry and workforce needs. Most importantly, it will allow students an opportunity to maximize their learning experiences in new and innovative ways.

Occupational Safety and Health Technology (OSHT)

The new facility will give the OSHT program the needed opportunity to incorporate adequate space for a conducive learning environment, extra storage and a demonstration space for hands-on equipment and tools for our students. These added resources allow students to practice and acquire the necessary technical skills required in the job market. In addition, the space will feature a new mini resource center for students needing textbooks and other materials.

Process Technology (PTEC)

PTEC students will receive top-of-the-line training in a new Glycol Separation Unit. The unit allows students to become familiar with the day-to-day tasks of a process operator. Also featuring state-of-the-art static and working labs, the new PTEC learning environment will house up-to-date working process simulators and static models. By working with the equipment in the labs, students gain a better understanding of the process operator practices and procedures. Students will also be provided with a state-of-the-art tutoring center.

Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC)

The HVAC classroom and lab is a long-term growth strategy that will provide an innovative, collaborative, hands-on learning space to prepare students for in-demand, high-growth careers. Allowing for larger cohorts and the addition of a refrigeration credential, the new space will offer a comprehensive interactive multimedia learning curriculum and state-of-the-art trainers for teaching hands-on skills.
