Our Trade School History

The Industrial Management & Training Institute is a coeducational technical school founded in 1985 as Electrical Educators. In 1998 the school’s name was changed to its current name and the curriculum was expanded to offer full apprenticeship programs for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC mechanics. The institute was approved by the State of Connecticut Commissioner of Higher Education in 1985. Since 2002 the Institute has accredited by the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER). The technical school received initial accreditation from the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) in 1989 and was granted its most recent renewal of accreditation in February 2019 for a period of four (4) years.

Benefits of Attending a Technical School

You have many options when it comes to your future, but don’t rule out the option of attending a technical school. In addition to being a viable choice for graduating seniors, technical school can also benefit adults who are interested in pursuing a new career or advancing further in their chosen field. Here are just a few advantages that come from attending a technical school:

  • Affordability: Traditional four-year schools tend to be much more expensive than technical schools. You’ll wind up paying less in tuition and fees, have fewer textbooks to purchase, and spend less time in school before you receive your certification, saving you money.
  • Smaller Class Sizes: Unlike larger institutions, technical schools tend to have smaller class sizes for more targeted instruction. This allows you to receive more assistance from your teachers, build relationships with your peers, and make the most of your time in school.
  • Flexibility: The specific qualities of a technical school make it better suited for students who don’t necessarily fit the mold for traditional academic schools. Whether you have unusual scheduling needs or you are concerned about admission, you’re likely to find a place here.
  • Focused Studies: Students who attend traditional schools are required to complete general education requirements in subjects that don’t impact their chosen majors at all. When you attend a technical school, your education will be focused solely on the subject you want to study, giving you a more career-focused education.
  • Career Guidance: We offer focused, comprehensive career guidance for our students to help them achieve their professional goals. Many of our faculty members have connections in the fields in which they teach, which allows them to give experienced advice.
