The 10-week, full-time Microelectronics Boot Camp and the 6-week, part-time Soldering Boot Camp are taking new students now at Nashua Community College. Both programs guarantee interviews at BAE Systems and other industry partners on successful completion of the training.

Soldering Boot Camp

The next Soldering class runs Monday, August 21 – Thursday, September 28 from 3:00–6:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and costs $1,000. The training is designed to prepare students for immediate work in soldering or assembly in the advanced manufacturing industry, and to earn the nationally recognized credential, J-Standard 001. No experience is necessary to sign up.

“This skill is a good entry point to the electronics industry,” said Jon Mason, corporate, community, and continuing education coordinator at NCC. “By the end of the training, the successful student will have a functioning knowledge of soldering.”

Microelectronics Boot Camp

The next Microelectronics class begins Monday, September 11 and ends Thursday, November 16. The intensive program prepares students for entry-level die attach and wire/ribbon bonding in 400 hours over 10 weeks (10 hours per day, Monday – Thursday). The boot camp costs $5,500 and is WIOA eligible.

The class includes soft skills training such as preparing a portfolio of work, writing a resume, interview preparation, and tours of local companies. The curriculum also includes an intensive three-day workshop on campus for students to earn their Lean White Belt.

Founded in 2016, the Microelectronics Boot Camp has a hiring rate of 96 percent for graduates. Currently, the students in the 29th Microelectronics class have already secured job offers. “All students on our current class have job offers with four weeks still to go before graduation,” said training instructor Jim Flis, “This program works.”
