Programmable Logic Controller training teaches students how to program, operate, and interface programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in a variety of industrial applications used in many industries, such as automotive, packaging, and technological assembly. Programmable Logic Controllers remain an important tool in industrial automation, useful in a wide variety of applications like robots, conveyors, electric motor controls, air conditioning, process control, plastic injection, and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines.

Summary/Description:
This course introduces the fundamentals of engineering graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) using solid
modeling software. The participants will learn the theory and principles of orthographic projections, isometrics,
sectional views and dimensioning. SolidWorks will be used to design mechanical components, create assembly files
of complex systems, and export the shop and demonstration drawings.

Target Audience:
The course can be customized to fit the following attendees:
• Engineers with a four-year university degree
• Technicians with a two-year technical college degree

Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
• Learn the fundamentals of engineering graphics
• Utilize SolidWorks as an efficient solid modeling software
• Create solid models for parts and assemblies
• Use engineering standards to prepare the shop drawings
• Learn about the SolidWorks certification exam

This course utilizes Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines to provide participants with the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to properly operate a forklift. In addition to safety best practices, participants receive hands-on opportunities to ensure each understands equipment-specific stability requirements, fork adjustment protocols, fueling procedures and other usage issues. Minimum age requirement: 18 years

Why are leaders important to the success of an organization? Leadership is essential to organizations around the world. Engaged leaders help make an organization successful and help to develop the next generation of leaders. The most successful organizations do not always recruit great leaders, they grow their own. They invest in their development to such a level that a pool of prepared and engaged talent is available to step into critical positions and responsibilities when the time comes. Quality service can only be delivered if employees are engaged, trained, and prepared to do their jobs. Employees are able to deliver an outstanding service experience and achieve measured results when leaders effectively lead their teams. Participants will learn ways to improve their leadership skills as well as their emotional intelligence. This course will provide participants with an awareness of the five leader behaviors which employees expect of their leaders. It will also identify areas within themselves that they can take action on to become a better leader or develop leadership skills that will allow them to step into leadership roles at their organization.

This course provides students with basic safety and health knowledge, including OSHA policies, procedures and standards. Special emphasis is placed on those areas that are most hazardous. Upon completion, a wallet card will be issued certifying that the student has completed 30 hours of OSHA training for construction industry.

Basic Hydraulics offers a comprehensive learning experience for individuals looking to acquire skills in the field. By covering topics such as basic hydraulic circuits, pressure control circuits, hydraulic schematics, and sequence valves, learners can develop a strong foundation in hydraulics. Basic Hydraulics training includes gauges, manifolds, cylinders, valves, flow meter, and hydraulic motors. The components of this training are of industrial quality, and prepare learners for real-world scenarios. Learners will not only study theoretical concepts but also put them into practice. They will gain hands-on experience in reading a pressure gauge, monitoring liquid levels and temperature in the reservoir, connecting hydraulic circuits, operating a bi-directional hydraulic motor, and converting between absolute and gauge pressure. Additionally, students will learn how to connect and adjust the pressure setting of a pressure relief valve (PRV).

This course covers the hazards and injuries likely to occur in public warehousing and storage operations, including encounters with powered industrial trucks, material handling, lifting and ergonomics, hazard communication, walking and working surfaces, and life safety including fire protection and evacuation. This course is intended for warehouse workers, supervisors, and employers responsible for developing safe work practices and procedures in a warehouse setting. Upon course completion students will have the ability to recognize the potential for injuries from forklifts, material handling and lifting, exposure to hazardous substances, slips, trips, and falls and methods to control and abate these hazards.

AC/DC Electrical Systems training begins with the basics of electricity and how electricity is utilized in residential applications, as well as in industrial components and areas such as programmable controllers, electrical motor control, and electro-fluid power. AC/DC Electrical training teaches the fundamentals of AC and DC electrical systems used for power and control in industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential applications. This training helps to develop industry-relevant skills which includes how to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot basic AC and DC electrical circuits for various applications. Topics covered include how to use a voltmeter to measure voltage, how to calculate total parallel resistance, the functions of electromagnetic devices, switches, combination circuits, and how to troubleshoot a transformer.
