The Mount Wachusett Community College Industry Readiness Training Program

I am very excited about the possibility of working closely with the MWCC Industry Readiness Program. Goodrich Academy students are always trying to look ahead at what is possible for them after graduation. For many, the next step is college, but a lot of students are either not planning on college right away or are looking at alternatives that will make sense for them. This is a program that can help them examine a possible path.

The MWCC IRT is a six week program that can prepare students for entry to mid-level jobs in advanced manufacturing, Students can take this course for free at the MWCC Devens campus and be exposed to many aspects of modern manufacturing. they can also have an OSHA certification and a National Career Readiness Certification. So, they would be ready to look at possible jobs right away, or they would know whether or not to pursue one or two year programs in advanced manufacturing.

We have just started communicating with this program recently, but we will have them here at Goodrich on March 18 to present to our students, and we are aiming for an APril 1 field trip to their facility. This is very exciting for us.

More to come...
