Back to Manufacturing Project Outcomes
Advanced Manufacturing by Innovation and Design (AMID) received a $2,507,462 Round Three grant award to provide relevant training and increase workforce skills in advanced manufacturing occupations for individuals negatively affected by changes in the economy. In addition, Nashua Community College stakeholders sought to leverage the funding to update the learning environment to make it more conducive to development of in-demand skill sets.
Defining Features of Project:
- Develop a competency-based, technology-enabled and enhanced education model for two existing associate degree programs in Precision Manufacturing and Mechanical Design Technology, and an existing certificate in Machine Tool Technology CNC Programming;
- Improve the equipment and lab space capacity for Precision Manufacturing and Mechanical Design Technology courses;
- Provide individualized, wrap-around support to students based on their academic and social needs to promote success (the Student/Success Navigator intervention) and
- Develop academic pathways for Precision Manufacturing and Mechanical Design Technology programs via articulation agreements, and Prior Learning Assessments to allow students to gain academic credit for work experience and expedite time to completion.
