The Multi Industry Systems Technician (MIST) program and its Prep Academy were developed by Employment Services of Weld County in collaboration with Aims Community College and is being offered through a cooperative effort with our partners in Adams, Boulder, and Larimer Counties to address the hiring needs of energy and manufacturing employers.

The MIST Program is employer validated, flexible in its delivery, academic credit bearing, PELL Grant eligible with short term elements that are open entry-open exit and not dependent upon future external funding.

Participants in the MIST Program will learn to communicate effectively, demonstrate technical competence, and work well on teams.  The MIST Prep Academy will assist individuals in improving their math, reading and English skills and prepare them for either entry level jobs in the energy field or to enter into the certification programs under the MIST Program.  Examples of courses for the MIST I and MIST II certificate levels include: Technical Mathematics, Introduction to PC Applications, Business Ethics, Technical Writing or Business Communications and Report Writing, Blue Print Reading, Process Technology, Basics of AC/DC Electricity, Instrumentation, and more.

Costs for the program including tuition, lab fees, and books may be covered by Employment Services of Weld County or one of its partners.
