PRODUCTION AND DESIGN TECHNOLOGY ACADEMY

Sponsored by Lockheed Martin & Marion Regional Manufacturing Association (MRMA)

The Production and Design Technology Academy offers a well-rounded education for those interested in industrial engineering and manufacturing technology. This program uses Amatrol’s Virtual Integrated Technology Concepts (VITC), coupled with hands-on experience in a wide range of engineering technologies using industrial quality equipment and software programs. Projects are incorporated to enhance teamwork, problem solving and creative skills. Team-based projects give students the chance to demonstrate their mastery of the technical skills learned in the virtual lab while learning essential workplace skills. Hands-on experience, teamwork, internships, national certifications, and Gold Seal Scholarship opportunities, as well as college credits at CFCC for coursework and Manufacturing Skills Standards Council (MSSC®) certification, can seal the deal for your college education or immediate access to a rewarding career!

National Certifications Available: MSSC® (Manufacturing Skills Standards Council), OSHA®
