The Natural Gas Technology program will teach you the skills needed to install, maintain, operate and repair gas distribution systems and equipment for residential, commercial and industrial customers.
As infrastructure ages and the need for gas services increases, companies are looking to hire now. After just one year, you will find a wide range of job options with starting annual salaries as high as $55,000.
Graduates may find employment with public utilities or municipalities to install and maintain gas service, or in the construction industry which contracts with utilities for installation and maintenance.
Students in this program may combine one year of Natural Gas Technology with one year of GPS/GIS Mapping Technology; Heating and Cooling Technology; or Power Line Construction and Maintenance, and with additional general education courses, will earn an AAS degree.
