Stuart Tours Lewis & Clark Community College

COLLINSVILLE, Ill. – State Rep. Katie Stuart, D-Edwardsville, toured the Lewis and Clark Community College Process Operations Technology Program last week.

“Community college and career training programs are a vital part of growing the local economy,” said Stuart. “These programs prepare students in emerging fields like Process Operations Technology, and give workers the skills they need to launch a lasting career in a high-demand, good-paying industry.”

Lewis and Clark’s Process Operations Technology program, which was developed in collaboration with ConocoPhillips, teaches students how to operate furnaces, distillation columns, reboilers, heat exchangers, steam systems and cooling water devices.
