Accessible Support Services and Instruction for Sustainable Transition to Work (ASSIST)

Back to Employer Engagement Showcase

Accessible Support Services and Instruction for Sustainable Transition to Work (ASSIST) collaborated with 37 local advanced manufacturing employers to redesign curricula and establish new certificate programs in 10 community colleges statewide. The project’s employer partners helped to create the Piedmont Technical College Center for Advanced Manufacturing. Sixteen partnering companies plus local organizations each donated from $5,000 to over $100,000 toward the center’s development, resulting in $1.4 million in leveraged resources.
