Manufacturing Training Programs

The Center for Manufacturing Excellence functions as a single point of entry for Manufacturing Employers to access vital resources to help grow and sustain their participation in an increasingly global marketplace. These resources include:

  • One source for the State’s Community and Technical Colleges’ Manufacturing workforce training opportunities
  • An active recruiting resource for employees trained in Manufacturing Core Competencies and in “niche” specialties
  • Collaborative Industry-Education partnerships for specialized training, lifelong learning, and skill enhancement opportunities
  • A market-responsive Community and Technical College system that consistently adds productivity to Manufacturing Employers’ businesses

Manufacturing Employers can enhance the success of the CME by contributing marketing expertise, conducting onsite tours of Manufacturing operations, establishing Internship programs for currently enrolled Manufacturing program students, and offering in-kind donations and financial support for cutting edge training programs. Join the Manufacturing Skill Panel and network with the region’s most forward-thinking Employers and Community-Based Organizations as we revitalize Washington State’s Manufacturing industry.

Training and Educational Programs

Community and Technical Colleges, Vocational Educational Institutes, and four-year Universities partner through the Center for Manufacturing Excellence to offer future-focused, complementary programs that address the Manufacturing community’s needs. Each school’s curriculum offers a training “niche” to deliver the most effective, most comprehensive system of programs to train today’s and tomorrow’s workforce. Contact CME or click each school below for information about these Manufacturing Training and Education programs.

Internships and Trained Employees

Internships and partnering projects ensure that students are prepared to apply Manufacturing skills and to work in the day-to-day business environment. Most Employers get even more out of hosting Internship programs than they give. By investing the time and attention to bring well-trained new employees on board, Employers develop best practices that benefit all employees.

Partnering CME schools help Manufacturing training program students establish Internships by working with participating Employers to fill specific industry-driven needs. Each school also offers a rich resource for regional Employers to locate and hire trained employees in the process of completing their studies.
