Students in the Manufacturing and Industrial Maintenance Academy learn about the many exciting careers in the petrochemical industries from entry-level craft occupations to careers requiring two- and four-year college degrees. With a team of teachers at each grade level, students’ academic and technical classes integrate related manufacturing activities into their coursework with projects that span across academy classes to introduce how industry and technology work together to create the products we use every day.

Careers in manufacturing and industrial maintenance offer exciting opportunities to academy students in designing and improving products, operating high-tech equipment, and analyzing problems to develop creative solutions. In addition to working on their associate degree or certificate in welding or pipefitting students can earn a Business and Industry Endorsement with Performance Acknowledgments by earning NCCER, AWS and other credentials and certifications.
