SAVANNAH – Beginning this month, students who successfully complete the Certified Apartment Maintenance Technician (CAMT) program at Savannah Technical College will be offered an interview with Kole Management Company, a member of the Savannah Apartment Association. CAMT is offered through the College’s Professional Continuing Education (PCE) courses and is accredited by the American National Standards Institute.
“We’re excited to offer this opportunity,” said STC Vice President of Economic Development Kevin Werntz. “Students will have a solid base of skills to support them in this career.”
The 90-hour training will be offered on Thursdays and Fridays from August 22 through October 4 at the College’s Savannah campus, 5717 White Bluff Road. CAMT training includes: interior and exterior maintenance, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and appliances.
“Kole Management Company is delighted to join the Savannah Apartment Association in partnering with Savannah Tech for this invaluable maintenance training program,” said Kole Management Company President Jeff Kole. “Apartment communities need maintenance personnel with a wide range of repair skills.
