What is Advanced Manufacturing?
In a nutshell, Advanced Manufacturing is using high-tech
equipment to produce
items.
The Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration's definition
is as follows:
Advanced Manufacturing is the accelerated use of high-tech processes
in the manufacturing plant. This definition is not synonymous
with “high-tech
manufacturing,” as the emphasis is on the high-tech process used in
production, rather than the output of high-tech products.
Our mission:
The mission of Advanced Manufacturing is to develop innovative workforce solutions to help the advanced manufacturing industry address hiring, training, and retention challenges. |
"In just over a decade, our manufacturing needs have changed from being able to accept unskilled workers, to today; when we need workers with a basic, technical background in order to perform many of the responsibilities on the operations floor. WIT has been very accomodating in helping us upgrade the technical skills of our workforce."
