Science and Math Career Field Courses
Chemical Plant Operations
Course ID: SEF-3001BSG | Overview
There are thousands of chemical manufacturing facilities in the U.S. - run by chemical plant operators who are highly paid and who enjoy a stable work environment. There is an ongoing need for chemical plant operators at the entry level, and with a large segment of the workforce retiring there will be a critical shortage of technical workers for many years to come. This unique and user-friendly course can help you get started in this exciting field. Very few institutions provide entry-level training; this one is designed for those with minimal knowledge of the industry or of math, physics, or chemistry. Science concepts are built into the course modules. Get started today!
