ADVANCED MANUFACTURING PATHWAY

Welcome to advanced manufacturing, where robots rule and computer skills and specialized
training are as much a part of the job as hard hats and safety glasses. Modern manufacturing is
all about merging factory machines and production with technology. Because of an aging

workforce and changing nature of currently open positions, manufacturers have a high demand
for skilled workers.

Although some more traditional positions in manufacturing are expected to decline, many
positions are expected to grow significantly over the next few years and will offer multiple
opportunities for advancement. If you like to master machines, develop and analyze processes,

design and test products or manage the distribution of finished goods, then a career in
manufacturing promises a rewarding future.
