Collaborative robots, or co-robots, are light, industrial robots that work alongside humans. They must be programmed and operated by technicians with specialized skills.
Wake Tech has worked with an advisory board of area employers to create a certification series that will train you for local jobs. The Collaborative Robotics Certificate program offers three certificates – Technician I, Technician II and Programmer – and employers are eager to hire individuals who complete the stackable series.

Wake Tech received a U.S. National Science Foundation grant, Robotics Awake (DUE: 1700468), to work with industry partners to develop a curriculum for operating and programming collaborative robots for manufacturing. The curriculum includes stackable certificates: Collaborative Robotics Technician and Collaborative Robotics Programmer Technician.
