PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Training includes classroom instruction, paid on-the-job training, and rigorous exams that measure skill and competency. At the end of the two year training, students receive:

ASSOCIATES DEGREE

Receive the basic technical and educational knowledge and transferable skills you'll need in order to go on to employment or for further study in your chosen field. Your associates degree is the key to open the doors you want to walk through. 

8 NIMS CERTIFICATIONS

Skills in occupations within advanced manufacturing are validated through the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) credentials.  The credentials are earned through secondary, post secondary, apprenticeship programs and work-based curricula that include both “hands-on” performance and theory tests.  

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR CERTIFICATE

With a Department of Labor Certification in your chosen trade, you will be able to show prospective employers in your field that you have met critical and necessary standards through your hands on training.
