ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND ENGINEERING
Today’s world of Advanced Manufacturing is a blend of fundamentals and new skills. Basic blueprint reading is a must-have for everyone from line to leadership. An introduction to Six Sigma provides an understanding of the fundamentals of this dynamic set of process tools. These courses provide both novice and experienced workers with new knowledge and refresh the tool-kit required of all staff in the manufacturing arena.
Learn the knowledge and skills required to enter the field of Advanced Manufacturing by participating in our Boot Camp.
The Boot Camp will offer 3 college credits, interactions with potential employers, and the use of our state-of-the-art classroom and manufacturing lab space in the brand new Advanced Manufacturing Center at CCM. Students can earn certifications such as: OSHA-10, NIMS, and SolidWorks. There are opportunities for scholarships, funding for un/under employment, as well as payment plan options.
Participants who complete Shop Basics and the Advanced Manufacturing Core will be eligible to apply for apprenticeships through the CareerAdvance USA grant. This grant is an apprenticeship program that gives people of any skill level the opportunity to earn valuable credentials and skills in the advanced manufacturing field. Participation in this program can lead to better job opportunities in a year or less. Those who complete apprenticeships have a high rate of immediate employment in the manufacturing sector, with an average starting salary range of $45,000 to $65,000.
These Boot Camp classes are offered continuously, so you can enroll at any time. Learn from the comfort of your own home! They are taught by remote live instruction as well as by self-paced modules.
