Power Generation
The Power Generation Certificate (in progress) program is designed to provide students with the specialized knowledge and skills required to pursue a career in power generation and/or transmission. Graduates may find employment with 
businesses and industries that generate power using a variety of fuel sources, including diesel, natural gas, wind, hydropower, and steam co generation. They may be employed in either small-scale rural settings or in Alaska's Rail belt or other urban environments. The goal of the Power Generation Technology certificate is to prepare students for entry level positions in service, repair and installation of electric power generator units. The students are exposed to all facets of the career field with a particular focus on problem solving and transferability of technical knowledge and skills. This curriculum is designed to introduce students to the skills necessary to service and maintain diesel and natural gas powered generator sets. This program of study will introduce students to continuous power, peaking power, prime power and standby power generating units. Students will be exposed to the entry level skills needed to work with electrical machinery, electric and electronic machine control devices, and other electronic equipment.
