Hopkinsville, KY – Hopkinsville Community College (HCC) is pleased to offer its third Career Skills Program (CSP), industrial maintenance and mechatronics, at the college’s Fort Campbell campus.Industrial maintenance and mechatronics (IMM) is a hands-on, 14-week, accelerated program concentrated on key concepts and skills necessary to begin a career in industrial maintenance. Students will complete six academic credit classes in technical math, electricity, industrial equipment, and motor controls. Graduates will earn two academic certificates and three industry-recognized certifications.

“We are so happy to be able to offer this training at Fort Campbell,” said Lea Martin, HCC workforce development director and IMM CSP coordinator. “We are grateful to our EDC and Fiscal Court partners as well as our friends at Fort Campbell for the support they have provided to HCC to make this program a reality.”
