Oakton Revises Facilities Management and Engineering Program
Enrollment is open at Oakton Community College for individuals seeking career opportunities in facilities management and engineering. Offered as part of Oakton's newly revised FME curriculum are two associate's degree options and two certificate options in facilities management and facilities engineering. Classes begin August 23.
All FME programs integrate course work with internship opportunities, according to Chad Ganger, department chair. "Internships are an important part of the program, because they provide real-life experiences," he said. Ganger said a variety of companies have joined with Oakton to provide internships, including Tribune Company, Baxter, Aramark, and S & C Electric Company. Internships may be paid or unpaid, at the company's discretion.
Consistent with the growing demand for qualified personnel to manage and maintain large and small facilities, Oakton's FME degree and certificate programs are now designed to move students toward greater competency, responsibility, and advancement. Course work includes technical and general education; internships provide hands-on experiences.
