Your Instructor(s)

Hello, I’m Matt Steel. I have over 13 years of industry experience, and am in my 8th year of teaching. I also have a U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeships & Training Certificate as an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic. One of my favorite parts about teaching is seeing the light go on for a student when they realize that they really can do it. In fact, I am a graduate of this program! There are currently a lot of great jobs in this industry, so I would enjoy the chance to discuss Industrial Automated Maintenance with you.
