Electronic equipment is at the very core of our high-tech society. The job of a technician is more “hands-on” than that of a scientist or engineer. The qualified electronics technician has a variety of career choices including Research & Development * Quality control and Sales * Manufacturing * Maintenance.
WHY VU?
Vincennes University’s two-year Electronics Technician program will prepare you for a career as a general electronics technician.
