Upon completion, students will have the basic foundational skills to find gainful entry-level employment and may meet the minimum qualifications to pursue additional career pathways in advanced manufacturing through AJAC’s portfolio of apprenticeship programs.
Starting July 6th, AJAC will offer two in-person classes for individuals 18 and older looking to develop tangible real-world skills for the local advanced manufacturing industries. Each class is Monday through Friday, 8:00am – 2:00pm.
Our two programs this summer will be South Seattle College (Georgetown Campus) and Bates Technical College (Downtown Campus).
AJAC operates the Manufacturing Academy at no-cost through grant funding that focuses on encouraging women, people of color, displaced workers, and low-income individuals to develop manufacturing skills and obtain living wage jobs.
