MISSOULA - The University of Montana College of Technology is opening two additional industrial trade programs beginning fall semester 2010 due to the increased demand for additional education and training opportunities following recent layoffs in western Montana.

The carpentry program will accept 20 students for an Associate of Applied Science Degree Program while the Welding Technology Program will accept 20 students for a similar degree program.

The classes for both will begin fall semester 2010 and continue through spring semester 2011, summer term 2011 and fall semester 2011. Students will be able to take late afternoon, evening and some weekend courses during the fall and spring semesters. Summer term courses will be held during daytime hours.

Students admitted to either program will take general education courses in the fall term (e.g. math and writing) and will begin their skilled-trades courses during spring semester 2011.

The carpentry and welding technology programs will accept students on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information or to apply, call Enrollment Services-Admissions at the UM College of Technology at (406) 243.7882 or e-mail COTadmissions@umontana.edu.
