The program also offers industry-recognized certifications, including the OSHA 10-Hour Safety Card, Forklift Operation, and Customer Service, ensuring graduates are job-ready for high-demand roles in the field.

This training program starts with hands-on welding classes, and the majority of classroom experience is through interactive workshop courses. It’s an exciting training program that will prepare you to jump-start your pipe welding career in less than one year.

Job Corps’ Painting, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills like how to apply paint, stain and coatings to walls and ceilings, buildings, bridges or other items such as cars, jewelry and ceramics, use machinery to apply the paints or use scaffolding and raise ladders, fill holes and cracks with plaster and putty, and utilize simple math to calculate dimensions. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Painting, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from organizations such as the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and certifications in construction safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Job Corps’ Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills needed to work with electrical systems in homes, businesses and factories, including how to install, maintain and repair electrical power, communications, lighting and control systems in places of all sizes, read blueprints and diagrams and will need to follow state and local building regulations, and use various hand tools and power tools. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and certifications in construction health and safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The Advanced Manufacturing Machine Technology certificate provides students with the opportunity to train in a hands-on manufacturing environment. Throughout the duration of their training, students will develop an advanced level of skillsets that will lead directly into a career in the vast world of manufacturing, such as an entry level machinist or a quality inspector. The programs were developed in response to Connecticut manufacturers’ needs for a highly skilled workforce to match the needs of the regional industry sector partnerships around the state of Connecticut that graduates of the program are placed with. The student who completes the Advanced Manufacturing Machine Technology certificate program has a choice to pursue employment or to matriculate in an associate degree program. To earn this certificate, you will choose nine directed electives based on regional industry needs for specific courses.

LCCC's mechatronics program is an exciting, job-focused program that will give you an understanding of how MEMS are designed and fabricated and prepare you to work as an entry-level technician. We've partnered with six different Northeastern Ohio microelectronics companies who looking for trained workers to ensure that our classes teach you exactly what they want you to know on the job.The MEMS one-year certificate program builds on the related short-term certificate program and will give you hands-on experience and training working at the operator level in a class-10,000 cleanroom located on college grounds. You'll get to work with materials, equipment, protocols, and processes related to the microelectronics industry and learn theory of MEMS design, sensor and microcircuit operation, material and size constraints, microelectronic packaging, printed circuit design, manufacturing, and project management.You may choose to continue your education by applying the credits earned in this program to an associate of applied science in mechatronics technology -micro electromechanical systems or a bachelor of applied science in MEMS.

Prepare for careers in manufacturing support or industrial technical maintenance.Receive training in areas such as industrial safety, mechanical drive, fluid power, robotics, and electrical control systems.Learn the fundamental concepts that underpin these systems, including installation and troubleshooting.After completing the program, you'll be ready for entry-level positions as industrial maintenance technicians (IMTec).

Job Corps’ OTP Advanced Manufacturing training program connects Job Corps students with other local training providers like technical or community colleges, trade schools or employers to provide specialized education and training services. Students learn skills like reading and understanding schematics and blueprints, positioning or aligning components and parts either manually or with hoists, using hand tools or machines to assemble parts, conducting quality control checks, and describing the commonalities and differences of the alternating current and direct current (AC/DC) systems (e.g., wire color codes in both). These skills prepare students for a career in manufacturing, production engineering and machine shops. Students who complete Advanced Manufacturing training at Job Corps can earn nationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society (AWS) and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS).

A computer numerical control machine (CNC) is a tool that forms materials to a desired shape for parts and component requirements. CNC machines use pre-programmed software to control the movements of complex machinery, including grinders, lathes, mills, and other cutting tools used to remove material. These computer-aided manufacturing techniques can perform a wide range of complex and precise CNC machining tasks to create manufactured products and specifically designed parts for today’s nuclear submarines.The ideal candidate for CNC machining would be a student interested in a career that challenges the mind while being hands-on every day. It is a rewarding job that allows you to see firsthand what it takes to make a complex product from a basic piece of material. At its core, the CNC machining course utilizes computerized machines and cutting tools like drills to make many of the items we use daily. Even if you have no experience or prior knowledge, the ATDM CNC machining class was developed to ensure student success from any background.If you already have CNC machining, additive manufacturing, metrology, or welding experience, you would be a great fit to take your manufacturing knowledge a step further. For example, in CNC machining, students learn to use many of the measuring tools that are taught in metrology. In additive manufacturing, students would benefit from having worked with CNC machines since the logic is the same for the additive machines. Finally, from the CNC machining class, students have a basic understanding of metallurgical properties. Students would be able to apply that knowledge to the welding class, where metals are fused.
