Propane & Natural Gas Technologies

There is an immediate need for employees in both natural gas and propane distribution and service occupations. In the propane industry there are an abundance of opportunities in both managerial and service divisions. Graduates may also be employed in the construction industry, which contracts with public utilities, and/or municipalities to install and maintain gas service.

The program emphasizes skills needed to install, maintain, operate, and repair gas distribution systems and equipment for residential, commercial, and industrial customers and to maintain and repair appliances used by residential and commercial customers. Employment is guaranteed with large gas service and construction companies to students who satisfactorily complete the program.
