November 15, 2013 - During the week of Nov 4th, ATS saw tremendous success with their initial ”Manufacturing
Pays” event. This week long event provided individuals with the opportunity to learn the basic skills need for a career in manufacturing. The attendees were returning veterans, unemployed individuals, or individuals looking to improve upon their current employment situation with a job in manufacturing.
With more than 50 individuals signed up for the event, ATS sees this as a great opportunity to continue helping those who desire a career in manufacturing by offering this type of event in the Cincinnati and or Columbus area in early 2014. In addition, ATS has decided to add a level 2 course for those that completed the initial course. The second course will be a 2- or 3-day class where attendees will learn how to operate a CNC machine.
Attendees:
Although each attendee had their own reason for taking advantage of this free training, they all seemed to have the same thought process as Stephen Cullum, saying, “This FREE Training program gave me the opportunity to gain additional knowledge while expanding on what I already know, helping me secure a local manufacturing job.”
Many of the attendees found this training program to be extremely beneficial while hopefully using their Technical Learning Certificate to a successful career in manufacturing.
“I really enjoyed the hands-on training with highly-used industry software. I am confident this training will help me with my long term goal of obtaining a job in manufacturing,” says Jeffery Wing, attendee.
According to Thomas Mattox, attendee, “This program covered all of the basics needed for a career in manufacturing, everything up to and including the basics of G & M coding.”
