Training programs for manufacturing & energy career success.
This customized industry training program incorporates the common knowledge and skill areas needed for entry into careers with today's traditional and renewable energy manufacturers. Participants complete the core set of classes and then choose from elective courses in Programming and Machining or Energy to complete the program.
Training Content Includes:
The Key to Success in Today's Workplace
While technical skill and experience are important, success in the workplace depends largely on adaptability, ethics, willingness to learn new skills and good communication , and teamwork . Managers from regional employers will participate in a discussion about the changing workplace and the significance of cultural fit in a company.
