About CAPT

Established in 2002, the Center for the Advancement of Process Technology (CAPT) supports the development of a highly skilled, educated and diverse process technician workforce for the chemical manufacturing, refining, oil and gas production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry sectors. To accomplish this, CAPT focuses on three models: one for pre-hire education in process technology (PTEC), one for new hire training, and one for incumbent training.

To fulfill our mission, CAPT pursues five primary goals:

  1. Develop curricula and instructional materials that support process technology education.
  2. Provide professional development opportunities for faculty who prepare students for careers in the process industries.
  3. Support program development and improvement to serve student and industry needs.
  4. Establish and foster partnerships linking industry, education, and government to advance process technology education.
  5. Provide for the organizational and fiscal development of CAPT to assure its health and sustainability.
