A Dynamic Learning CenterBased on over 20 years of success in the energy and manufacturing training and education sector, the opening of the Lone Star College Energy & Manufacturing Institute (LSC-EMI) sets new standards for producing highly-skilled, and well-trained workforce, locally and globally. LSC-EMI offers Lone Star College industry partners unparalleled access to state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories designed to prepare tomorrow’s energy technicians for the workplace.

Using the latest industry-standard equipment and software, students learn cutting-edge techniques and processes through simulations and in classes where low student-teacher ratios allow for personalized attention and supervision. LSC-EMI provides entry-level training options to learners looking to enter the energy and manufacturing sector, and offers opportunities for advancement for those already employed in the industry.

With extensive input from energy and manufacturing industry partners, all instruction and equipment are relevant to current industrial needs and this cooperative environment contributes to a comprehensive menu of continuing education services. Whether training takes place at LSC-EMI or on-location at plants and corporate offices, corporations work closely with Lone Star College to design courses that meet their needs and enrich the knowledge-base of their incumbent worker populations.

FacilitiesLSC-EMI is located at LSC-University Park in the new 70,000 square foot building. LSC-EMI also operates satellite sections at all of the Lone Star College campuses. The LSC-EMI facility houses 28 labs, five classrooms, and two simulation rooms – designed to serve a larger student population and meet the growing training needs of its industrial partners.

Laying the Groundwork for SuccessEducation and training at LSC-EMI is offered in Foundation Courses, HSE, Machining, Manufacturing, Engineering Technology, Maintenance, Energy Technology, Quality, Computer Technology, Logistics, Welding, Language Skills, English Language (ESOL) for the Workplace, Project Management, Frontline Supervision, and more.

These programs give students a strong foundation in scientific concepts and emphasize exposure to real-world laboratory and industrial processes and equipment.

Meeting Training and Education NeedsHouston, known as the Energy Capitol of the world, is home to thousands of energy-related companies covering every segment of the oil and gas industry, alternative energy, power generation and distribution and chemical plants and refineries.

According to the Greater Houston Partnership, manufacturing is also an important component of the health of the Houston-area economy, with more than 5,100 manufacturers employing more than a quarter of a million skilled workers.

As these corporations, and those that help support them in related industries, project their workforce and training needs into the future, they are faced with a shrinking pool of skilled employees. Fewer and fewer young people are choosing relevant technical careers, and current workers often require extensive retraining in order to operate the latest equipment efficiently and safely.

The goals of the Lone Star College Energy & Manufacturing Institute also include efforts to specifically meet those needs and help train the energy and manufacturing workforce of tomorrow.
