Advanced Manufacturing Career Consortium

Twenty-six local companies have been meeting continuously throughout 2011 to develop an innovative and integrated model to attract, screen, and train qualified candidates for current and future Advanced Manufacturing career opportunities with companies in Southwest Michigan.

As a result of these meetings, four workgroups have been formed:

• Recruitment – with a focus on how to recruit more potential candidates into manufacturing (Next meeting on January 13th)

• Screening – with a focus on key elements needed for a community-wide, talent-based screening tool

• Training – with a focus on the key elements of a competency-based assessment and training model for Advanced Manufacturing

• Implementation – with a focus on how all pieces of the program are fitting together, and next steps necessary to launch project

Does your company want to be part of this regional effort to recruit, screen and train the future advanced manufacturing workforce? If so, please contact Trish Schroeder, Director of Corporate Training, via email at pschroeder@kvcc.edu, or via phone at 269.353.1275.
