MWCC launching advanced manufacturing program
Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC) will launch a six-week training program in advanced manufacturing next month at its Devens campus, and is recruiting students, the Gardner-based school announced.
Full scholarships for the day program are available for eligible students. The program is designed especially for unemployed or underemployed adults, veterans and recent high school graduates who want to train for careers in manufacturing. Programs provide students with training in skills required for entry-level employment as technicians in such roles as manufacturing, validation, quality control, documentation and process operations.
Manufacturing accounts for nearly 25 percent of the workforce in North Central Massachusetts, employing more than 14,000 people in the region, according to a statement from MWCC. The demand for skilled workers continues to grow as a result of new opportunities and the retirement of older workers.
The six-week, 180-hour Advanced Manufacturing Career Preparation program will take place Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s open to students who do not already have a college degree, MWCC said. The course includes hands-on, lecture-based material as well as self-paced curriculum leading to a certification.
For more information about the program, contact the Devens campus at 978-630-9569 or email Career Development Coach Christian Reifsteck at creifsteck@mwcc.mass.edu.
