One of the most sought-after skilled positions across Northeast Arkansas is for industrial technicians (technical maintenance skills). The program of study at NEACTC that prepares students for these highly profitable careers is Robotics & Automation Technologies.
Upon learning of this specialized need, NEACTC began discussions with NEA industrial partners to assess industry needs, develop focus skills, research existing programs of study across the state, align instruction (curriculum) to meet industry needs, and seek equipment to develop a program of study specifically designed to provide students with proficient skills prepared to enter the workplace in lucrative career positions. Hence, the birth of Robotics & Automation Technologies at NEACTC. The program was originally known as Industrial Technology.
Robotics & Automation Technologies provides training in basic electrical concepts, mechanical components, pneumatic and hydraulic components and operation, AC/DC motors, variable speed drives and controllers, and beginning concepts in PLC troubleshooting and programming.
This is a two-year program of study. If you are a sophomore, junior or senior, we have room for YOU.
