As a competitive manufacturer, you need employees with technical skills, and Minnesota State Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence can provide the needed education.
How Our Program Works
We work closely with manufacturers so the course delivery fits both employer and employee needs. The Minnesota State Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence training program can be tailored for employees to take:

All courses are taught by Minnesota State Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence participating colleges. In addition to providing support services throughout the process, we will help you in identifying:
