Accelerated Industrial Mechatronics

Training, designed around your workforce

The Center for Advanced Manufacturing Technology at Clover Park Technical College offers a faster, focused pathway to reskill and upskill your workforce.

Across manufacturing and industrial sectors, technology is advancing rapidly. Automation systems are more integrated, equipment is more sophisticated, and troubleshooting requires cross-disciplinary knowledge. The shift to Industry 4.0 creates an urgent need for technicians who can work with electrical, mechanical, and automated systems – and keep pace with connected, data-driven operations.

But many organizations face the same challenge: How do you bridge the gap between advanced systems and the people who operate and maintain them?

At the Center for Advanced Manufacturing Technology (CAMT) at Clover Park Technical College (CPTC), we partner with employers to create accelerated, contextualized Mechatronics training designed around your operational needs. Our approach is collaborative, flexible, and built for your workforce.


How employers benefit

Our Mechatronics program delivers measurable value for your organization:

  • Proven expertise in advanced manufacturing education
  • Flexible delivery models that minimize disruption
  • A cost-effective alternative to traditional training
  • Curriculum informed by actual industrial applications
  • Recognized credentials that support employee retention and growth
  • A partnership that evolves with your technology and goals

Many companies assume traditional semester-based programs are their only option. We offer a focused, industry-aligned pathway that strengthens your operations without pulling employees away from their work long-term.


Designed for reskilling and upskilling

Modern operations demand technicians with cross-disciplinary skills. In Industry 4.0 environments, electrical, mechanical, and control systems are connected – and troubleshooting requires understanding how they interact.

Our Mechatronics training includes:

  • Electrical, mechanical, and control system integration
  • PLC programming
  • Industrial controls troubleshooting
  • Hands-on learning using industry-grade equipment
  • Real-world problem solving based on modern automation systems
  • Accelerated training blocks that let employees apply skills between sessions
  • Stackable credentials aligned with industry needs
  • Flexible scheduling around production cycles or shift operations

A consultative approach – not a course catalog

Every strong partnership begins with a conversation. Our faculty and staff work with your technical and leadership teams to understand:

  • Equipment and automation platforms currently in use
  • Workforce skills gaps
  • Production schedules and constraints
  • Short- and long-term talent goals

From there, we align our Mechatronics curriculum and exercises to the operational challenges your team faces every day, ensuring training is immediately relevant and applicable.


What your employees can expect

  • Intensive, immersive training sessions
  • Hands-on, real-world troubleshooting simulations
  • Cross-disciplinary problem solving
  • Immediate application of new skills on the job
  • Recognized credentials upon completion

Employees return to work stronger, more confident, and better equipped to support advanced systems – while continuing to grow in their careers.
