Break into a career in manufacturing! Learn the fundamentals to get a job in assembly, production or warehousing. This Three Week program is designed to give you the tools and practice you need to go directly to work at completion.
Phase One – Employment Basics
Start by learning the basics for industrial employment. Build a resume, get an introduction to our employer partners, explore open jobs, and review essential math and measurement skills.
Phase Two – Job Shadow
