ICART (Industrial Controls, Automation, and Robotic Technology)
If you love fixing things and tearing them apart to see how they work, the ICART Career Academy just might be for you.
Our Industrial Controls, Automation, and Robotics Technology (ICART) Career Academy isn’t about classes – it’s about hands-on learning. Students earn industry-recognized certifications by working in our hands-on labs learning to use real-world equipment in simulated applications. Learning is supported by guided online course work. This format opens doors to a diverse range of career paths available to graduates, including positions in manufacturing, automation, robotics, and electrical maintenance.
