Long Beach Community College Electrical Technology Program conforms to LBCC-District’s mission to provide Associate Degree, Certificate, and Vocational programs that lead to employment in the electrical industry workforce.
It is the vision of Long Beach Community College Electrical Technology Program that each of our students will gain employment in an electrical area of specialization that sparks their interest. The Long Beach Community College Electrical Technology Program will play a significant role in the students’ personal development and training to become a vital part of the industry workforce.
This program was designed in consultation with our industry advisory board and is in response to their requests for a program covering the skills needed by technicians in today’s various electrical industry segments. Much of their existing workforce is of retirement age and comfortable with previous technology. This new program is in direct response to these industry needs and is in full alignment with those needs.

The Electrical Technology program is an existing program with substantial enrollment. There is no major change other than the packaging of existing courses. In all this work, there are only six new classes in response to industry needs. The remainder are new certificates of achievement in recognition of completion in areas of specialization. With the new certificates, new and revised curriculum and outreach to industries hiring our students, we anticipate excellent growth once the changes are implemented in the Fall 2019 semester.
