New Oakton Certificate Programs Offer RFID Training
Designed for those interested in the design and implementation of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, Oakton Community College announces the availability of two new certificate programs starting this fall.
Pending approval by the Illinois Community College Board, the new certificates, Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFIDT) and Transportation, Warehousing, and Logistics Management (TWL), both focus on the use of RFID for tracking and data collection through the supply chain, as well as in a variety of other applications. Certificate recipients will be able to develop an RFID deployment plan based on understanding how the technology can effectively be used in their industry.
Courses for both programs begin in late September at the Des Plaines campus, 1600 E. Golf Road, and the Art, Science, and Technology Pavilion, at the Skokie campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave. Courses include: Introduction to RFID (RFD 101); Introduction to Computer Information Systems (CIS 101); Networking Essentials (CNS 105); Database Applications for PCs (CAB 140); Purchasing Management (MGT 130); Operations and Supply Chain Management (MGT 155); and Quality Systems Leadership (MGT 223).
RFID uses radio waves to transmit unique data about products moving through the supply chain. The technology is used by Wal-Mart and other large retailers. Oakton is home to the only U.S. community college lab designed to teach RFID principles.
For more information about the RFIDT certificate, contact Majid Ghadiri, at 847-635-1909, or mghadiri@oakton.edu. For more information about the TWL certificate, contact Sue Cisco, at 847-635-1872, or scisco@oakton.edu.
