Take hold of your future

The wind energy industry is the fastest growing segment of new energy production. Employers seek skilled technicians for operation and maintenance activities in wind farms. There is also a demand for advanced technicians with U.S. and international wind turbine manufacturers; these include: installation technicians, quality control technicians, and warranty and commissioning technicians. Operation and maintenance positions generally remain with a given wind farm location; other technicians travel extensively with the construction of new wind farms and repair/retrofitting of wind turbines around the world.

LTC shares the Wind programming with other technical colleges. Students from NWTC, FVTC, and MPTC are able to complete their non-wind courses at their home college and attend their wind instruction at the LTC campus.
