August Manufacturing Information Sessions at NVCC

WATERBURY, Conn. – Naugatuck Valley Community College’s Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (AMTC) is hosting three information sessions in August for students interested in earning manufacturing certification. The sessions will take place on Thursday, August 4 at 5:30 p.m.; Thursday, August 11 at 1:00 p.m.; and Thursday, August 18 at 1 p.m. All sessions will be held at NVCC in Technology Hall, Room T515, at 750 Chase Parkway in Waterbury.

Students who earn their two-semester certificate in Manufacturing Machine Technology will be qualified to work in machine technology and CNC manufacturing environments. The certificate provides desired work skills by combining hands-on instruction, interactive lab experiences, theory and on-site manufacturing internships. The College currently offers daytime and evening manufacturing cohorts in Waterbury and an evening cohort at Henry Abbott Technical High School in Danbury.

Graduates are prepared to work on the shop floor with knowledge in blueprint reading, manufacturing processes, CNC and over 400 contact hours with state-of-the-art machinery. Additionally, credits earned in this certificate may apply to the College of Technology’s (COT) Studies advanced manufacturing degree option, which offers seamless transfer to several four-year universities, including Central Connecticut State University.

Students who enroll in these programs may be eligible for financial aid. In addition, these certificates are Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)-approved and qualify for assistance under the Veterans Retraining Programs.

The program curriculum is available at www.nv.edu/amt. If there is interest and or you would like further information, students can contact Deirdre D’Amore at 203-575-8014 or ddamore@nv.edu to learn more.
