Courses for this Program
About the Program
The Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance Technology Apprenticeship program is based on the
Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Oregon State Apprenticeship Training Council and local
Joint and Trades Apprenticeship Training Committee related training standards. It combines fulltime,
on-the-job work experience with trade-related theoretical instruction. The degree is available
only to BOLI-registered apprentices. If you are interested in becoming a registered apprentice in an
Oregon state apprenticeship program, contact Cathy Pierson at 541-245-7912. RCC supports these
BOLI-ATD trades: airframe/power plant technician and boiler operator (4,000 hours); tool and die
maker, millwright and motor winder (8,000 hours).
This AAS degree is a credential within Rogue Community College’s Industrial Mechanics and
Maintenance Technology Apprenticeship Pathway. The pathway model provides statewide transfer
opportunities, ladder-type certificates of completion, and an optional transfer path into a bachelor’s
of science degree at Oregon Tech. If students intend to transfer to SOU’s Bachelor of Applied
Science degree program, transfer courses should be chosen from the list of electives where possible.
See an advisor for more information or visit www.sou.edu/degreecompletion.
The degree features general education courses prescribed by Rogue Community College, related
training credits previously earned in the certificate of completion, college credit for an earned
journey-level card, and some industry electives. It also provides additional access to related training
courses across the state for registered apprentices with aligned program outcomes, assessments and
courses.
The curriculum in RCC courses is derived from a set of identified learning outcomes that are relevant
to the discipline. For a list of learning outcomes for this discipline or program, see
