Training program

Electro Mechanical Technician: Overview

The Electro Mechanical Technician Training Program (EMTP) is a work-study program co-sponsored by LANL and the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos (UNM-LA).

Upon successful completion of the two-year training program, students are awarded a certificate in Electro Mechanical Technology. Historically, more than 90% of each graduating class has been converted to regular employment status within the Laboratory, depending on position availability, funding, and positive evaluations.
