Program Description
Warehouse technicians unload, unpack, inspect, load, move, store, and record the movements and storage locations of materials within the warehouse and as necessary input information into various databases. They load and unload materials by hand or by the use of mechanical lifting equipment.
This program teaches students with learning differences or disabilities how to perform warehouse work and the safety requirements for working in a warehouse. Topics include shipping, receiving, stock picking, inventory management, basic safety and OSHA regulations, and forklift operation. Students will learn the following skills: forklift operation, shipping and receiving, understanding OSHA regulations, safety practices, and essential skills for employment. This track provides instruction that is multisensory, multimodal, and personalized, and that incorporates elements of universal design for learning. Classes are taught with a low student-teacher ratio to better meet the needs of individual learners.
Students entering this program should have communication and math skills and be detail-oriented.
Warehouse technician jobs can be found with for-profit and non-profit organizations. Additional career information may be found in Career Coach: https://ccbcmd.lightcastcc.com/.
