Manufacturing Conveyor Technician
Overview
The Manufacturing Conveyor Technician program at ASU-Newport, is a cooperative program between Hytrol, S&H Systems and Intimidator UTV. The Northeast Arkansas region is a hub for the conveyor systems industry. Job growth in this field is set to grow for the next 3-5 years.
Conveyor Technicians are an integral part of this growing industry. These technicians are required to have a thorough understanding of the materials and components related to how conveyor systems are manufactured, operated, installed and repaired to promote maximum uptime and operational efficiency. Individuals entering this program must operate in a culture that places operational safety first.
The Manufacturing Conveyor Technology program participants are enrolled through ASUN’s Workforce Training Center. This program is a non-credit program, but does provide a completion certificate, and hours that count toward Continuing Education Units. Please contact ASUN’s WTC for information regarding payment for the program.
