How Ivy Tech will prepare you for the workforce

Ivy Tech’s Industrial Technology program offers students prime training in order to develop the skills necessary to be successful in the field. With less than 20% of class time being lecture time, Ivy Tech professors dedicate most of their time to hand-on learning. Although the professors view lecture time as being important, they also know the importance of working on equipment prior to their first day on the job.

“Students are choosing the Industrial Technology programs to really learn the skills needed to be successful in manufacturing facilities,” says Bob Parker, Ivy Tech instructor. “Hands-on learning is really the key to really understanding the specific types of equipment that these students are being trained to work on.”

Like many of Ivy Tech’s other programs, Industrial Technology offers students a variety of options upon completion of their degree. Many students decide to go directly into the workforce as welders, machinists, etc.; however students also have an option to transfer to Indiana State University to further their education.
