This program is a direct link to the largest industry in the greater Houston area and the Texas Gulf Coast region. In the past, very little formal training was required prior to taking a job in the chemical process industry. However, companies in the Houston area now require more education for their entry-level technicians and are looking to community college graduates to meet those needs.
Students train in a state-of-the-art process laboratory similar to the environment in area refining and chemical plants. This facility was built in cooperation with area petrochemical companies. San Jacinto College works closely with industry as a member of the Gulf Coast Process Technology Alliance to maintain a curriculum that reflects current technology standards. Completion of the Process Technology curriculum can provide students with the technical skills required for entry-level positions as process technicians in petrochemical and related industries.
