The Environmental Science Technician Technical Certificate (T.C.) was developed in response to an emerging need for skilled workers who focus on environmental issues, laboratory and field tests, and workplace safety. Students gain an array of skills including the handling, storage, transportation and dispensing of hazardous materials in accordance with appropriate regulations and the planning for the protection of employees, workers, communities and the environment from hazardous material exposure. Additionally, students will receive hands-on training in the analysis of air, water, soil and the contaminants that are present.
