Graduates should qualify for a variety of jobs in the electrical/electronics field as an on-the-job trainee or apprentice, assisting in the layout, installation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic systems.

Students in the two year associate degree program participate in MCC's Co-op program that combines classroom learning experiences with one or more semesters of employment while completing their degrees.  The professional work experience awards academic credit toward graduation and is closely related to the student's academic program of study.  Co-op education is considered an integral part of the learning process as it enhances the student's academic knowledge, personal development, and professional development.
