Welcome to new member the Advanced Manufacturing Skills Center (AMSC) of Edmonds College. AMSC has long been known for providing students with the skills they need to get hired and excel in the manufacturing and trades industry—such as aerospace, defense, automotive, construction, and creative technology—in the shortest amount of time possible. AMSC recently added a Maritime Manufacturing Program. The 12-week certificate program is a blend of online courses (a 4-week online core certificate learning about the fundamentals of the industry) and an 8-week fiberglass lamination specialty certificate which combines online learning with hands-on, in-person sessions at the ASMC lab utilizing state-of-the-art, industry-approved equipment. The next Maritime Core Certificate program starts on August 12. To learn more about the program or ways NMTA members can get involved through an advisory level, or more contact Rikki Pierotti associate director of trades and training (rikki.pierotti@edmonds.edu) or Jim Werth, marketing manager (james.werth@edmonds.edu).
