Power Sports & Marine Technology, Diploma or AAS Degree

Technicians in the fast-growing occupation of outdoor power sports are in demand all across the country. The last two decades have seen an increase in the number of recreational vehicles in households and businesses: motorcycles, scooters, snowmobiles, ATVs, four-wheelers and more.

Students will get experience learning service and repair of these high-powered machines in Mitchell Tech’s state-of-the-art laboratories.

An optional second year is offered with two dynamic options. Students who complete the second year will earn an AAS degree and can choose to specialize in marine or motorcycle technologies. With two years of training, students will have even more opportunities in this exciting field.

Many dealerships in the region will offer supervised job shadowing and internship experiences. Employment opportunities can be found in many areas including dealership sales and service, cycle builders and manufacturers, ag maintenance shops and various other locations.

Note: Students are required to use a laptop or notebook computer for this program. Students may purchase a laptop from Mitchell Tech or bring their own device that meets Mitchell Tech specifications.
