Build your career while helping build Alabama!

Our Applied Technology programs prepare students to work in Alabama’s largest employment sector – Manufacturing. Our Applied Technology options include Welding, Industrial Maintenance, Automotive Manufacturing, and HVAC (Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration). We combine class sessions with hands-on learning and on-the-job training to prepare students for the workforce. All program options include paid internships that give students training and experience for employment after graduation. In addition, students earn certifications while earning the Associate of Applied Science degree or certificates. These certifications include:
