Your Instructor(s)
Hi, I’m Matt Steel. Do you like to tinker, take things apart and put them back together just to see if you can? Are you fascinated with how things work? Are you a problem solver? Self-motivated? Do you like challenges? This is exactly what the IAMT program is about and encompasses mechanical, electrical, fluid power and automation. I have been in this industry since 1994, and have been instructing at the OWATC since 2000. I also have a U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeships & Training Certificate as an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic. I would enjoy the chance to discuss Industrial Automated Maintenance with you.
