The Trades & Technical Studies Program is designed for students who are undecided of which trade industry they would like to enter but want to gain valuable industry knowledge and pursue a basic academic foundation. Students may choose from a number of industry courses to either help them decide on a specialty area (automotive, diesel, electrical, plumbing, welding, etc.) or provide them a broad background of skills to enter the workforce.
The Trades & Technical Studies Program is also intended for individuals who desire to build upon prior learning, such as: a Department of Labor-recognized apprenticeship training program, United States military training and degrees, or the LCCC Trades and Technical Studies Credit Diplomas. All of these bring demonstrated knowledge, skills and competencies in their field as the technical foundation of the degree. Industry specific qualification training (e.g. Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), COMP-TIA, American Welding Society (AWS), etc.) will also be considered as a foundation for this degree. Student's apprenticeship and training hours will be evaluated for awarding of credit on an individual basis.
Available at the Cheyenne main campus.
