Okay, let’s establish something critical, technology is coming to take our jobs. Sounds scary right? Well it is but also, it’s coming to create more jobs. Sounds contradictory too doesn’t it?

More companies are moving towards automated systems and processes so while we are currently living in these projected times of job extinction with a corresponding job creation, the question is How well prepared, skill wise are you for such opportunities?
The demand for automation in the industry is increasing exponentially, as is the requirement for engineers in this field. The Oil and Gas, automotive, heavy manufacturing, mining and electronics industries are the biggest driving forces behind the need for industrial automation engineers/technicians.
The average salary of an automation engineer is just about $80,000 in the united states. Sounds attractive right? While I leave you to do the math (which you obviously are), it’s a journey getting to this point and if you are looking to start that journey or build upon what you already have, one of the best ways to get started is our 7 week course on industrial automation. We enlist industry experts and field engineers with a wealth of experience to reinforce the foundation your engineering degree in Mechanical or Electrical Electronics has already given to you to make you field read
