Manufacturing Career Pathways

The Manufacturing Career Pathway has two entry points. Placement will be determined by a reading test and a math test. Students needing more help in these areas will start with the Bridge to Manufacturing class and work on reading and math skills in the manufacturing curriculum so they can learn content at the same time. In addition, students will study with an online software program for Manufacturing. This class is offered online and students will be expected to study at least six hours per week for this 13-week online course.

Manufacturing Career Bridge (online)

Students will study the Statewide Manufacturing Curriculum and increase reading and math skills while using manufacturing vocabulary and contexts. This bridge will lead to enrolling in a credential program with us or in a post-secondary school.

The Manufacturing Career Pathway Credential Class will continue to strengthen reading and math skills and prepare students to take three NIMS Credential tests for entry-level positions in Quality Control (Measurements, Materials, and Safety, MMS) and Computer Numeric Control (CNC) in lathe and mill Operations. Students will study from books and in labs to prepare for these tests with the help of a teacher experienced in manufacturing, while studying reading, writing, math, resume building, soft skills and interview skills with an Adult Ed support teacher. Classes will run three nights per week. Students will be able to take the Credential Tests at the end of the 16-week semester and be ready to look for a job.
