P.S. If you aren’t looking right now, or are still working on your certificate, please look these job postings over to see what types of skills are needed. One thing that is being asked for a lot is knowledge of PLC’s (programmable logic controllers). Laney doesn’t have a class in this right now, but we are developing an automation class that will cover some of the basics. Planning to have ready by the Fall. In the meantime, Chabot College and SJCC have classes. Also you can look online for some basic introductions to the subject.
