Advanced Manufacturing Center The AMC offers short-term training classes and programs to individuals seeking employment in the advanced manufacturing industry and/or to improve their technical skills. The AMC connects the students who are seeking employment to employers, through job fair events and other networking opportunities. Year-round students may attend classes in Machining, Composites, Industrial Maintenance (Automation, Electrical, & Mechanical), Certified Production Technician, and others. The length of classes range from 5-24 weeks. To enroll or for more information, call 828-398-7760. Customized Training Program Through the Customized Training Program, eligible partners receive training services to support their employees' continued skill development. Like most businesses today, many of A-B Tech's partners are hiring. The opportunities available are shared with the AMC students who complete training and this connects the individual to the employer. Local partners include Borg Warner, Eaton, GE, Linamar, New Belgium Brewing, Pratt & Whitney, ThermoFisher, and others. For more information visit: abtech.edu/customizedtrainingindustry. Lack of technical skills and education are among the primary reasons why NC employers struggle to fill vacancies. A-B Tech is committed to helping increase attainment and improve workforce alignment. Financial assistance is available to cover cost of classes allowing students to attend for FREE.
