3:00 - 6:00 pm
Southwest Tech, Bennington
FREE!
Calling Directors of Manufacturing, Lean and Continuous Improvement Leaders, Supply Chain Managers, Operations and Plant Managers, HR Directors and anyone else who manages employees - this is for YOU!
By day, Southwest Tech offers its students in the Manufacturing Technology program access to top notch equipment and machines; in the evening, the shop sits idle - and this is where you come in! As an employer, you have resources for your workforce which support training on SW Tech’s milling machines, lathes, grinders, CNC machines and welders. This training translates into skills such as GD&T, blueprint reading, inspection/ measurement and more for your employees.
As an added bonus, you will learn how to access Vermont workforce grants through the VT Training Program as well as hear from a manufacturer whose apprenticeship program training methods are tried and true. For complete information, agenda and to register, visit SWVT June 15 Summit.
