Christina Hammond, Certified Drafter,  Instructor

Drafters prepare technical drawings and plans used by production and construction workers to build manufactured products; examples of these may include toys, appliances, industrial machinery, spacecraft, structures, home plans, office buildings, and oil and gas pipelines.  Drawings provide visual guidelines showing the technical details of the products and structures, specifying dimensions, materials to be used, procedures and processes to be followed.  Drafters fill in technical details, using drawings, rough sketches, specifications, codes, and calculations previously made by engineers, surveyors, architects, or scientists.  Some drafters use their knowledge of engineering, manufacturing theory and standards to draw the parts of a mechanism to determine fit, form and function.

An Electro-Mechanical Technician is rated as being one of the top forty occupations with the most growth expected annually. Position openings rate from competitive to excellent with a starting average hourly wage range from $13.81 to $15.53 according to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

In anticipating the needs and demands for education and industry to embrace green technology, the Tennessee Technology Center at Hohenwald is implementing a twelve (12) month Green Jobs Technology Program designed to educate and meet the occupational demands of the service delivery area in an innovative technology field.  The program will be available to adults interested in occupations within the Green Technology fields.  The program will be located on the main campus of the Tennessee Technology Center at Hohenwald.  The program will require some off-campus activities as scheduled; however, the majority of study will be held locally.  The program will be offered initially on a one-time basis, with the continuance based upon continued growth and interest in green fields and continued availability of funding.  The program is designed to educate those interested in green technology and provide the training necessary to secure employment within the green industry and culture.   The realization of the program would further execute the vision and mission of the institution by providing cutting-edge, quality technical education in green technology occupational fields.
