Danville Community College

Last night, the first cohort of Industrial Maintenance Electrical & Instrumentation graduated!!

These seven technicians, with NCCER IMEI Certifications, have the skill set to install, calibrate, and maintain the complex control systems, motors, and sensors that sustain manufacturing and power plants to operate efficiently.

These students received scholarships from the SVHEF, easing the financial challenges for meaningful progress to achieve their educational goals.

IMEI is one of many great programs offered at the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center in partnership with Danville Community College.
