GATES – INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY

In Industrial Technology students gain knowledge and skills to perform maintenance and repairs to households. Risk management has an additional role applying and determining the hiring of contractors. Experiences will be offered in the field of construction, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, general home safety, and building codes. Examples of the course work are: building a mini-wall, dry-walling, switch replacement, etc. Skills in these courses assist students in preparing for self-sufficiency. Students who are visually impaired may not have experience in these areas which could negatively impact on their ability to make decisions in the industrial technology area and to self-advocate when living in their own homes.
