Industrial Electricity

Whether they are working on motors or lighting systems, Industrial Electricians are trained to  install, test, inspect and troubleshoot various types of electrical equipment. The Industrial Electricity program is available through the Northern Wyoming Community College District (NWCCD).

Our Industrial Electricity program is highly regarded across Wyoming and the surrounding region. Many students are employed in paid cooperative education positions while they attend class. As part of the cooperative experience, the class schedule is designed for three intensive days of coursework each week.

The Industrial Electricity program features specialized courses where you will work first-hand on today’s leading equipment and technology. Your course options will include Electrical Skills and Practices, AC/DC Electrical Circuit Theory, High Voltage Systems, Solid State Motor Control and more exciting, hands-on classes.

Many Industrial Electricity graduates are employed as entry-level industrial electricians, operating industrial electrical systems, and performing electrical maintenance, troubleshooting and repair. Some graduates may work in the electrical construction industry.
