Adults 18 and older who are unemployed, stuck in a dead end job or those pursuing their GED or enrolled in ESL classes and are interested in starting a new career in manufacturing are welcome to apply for a non-credit Manufacturing Essentials course that meets from 6-9 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays beginning Sept. 13 at McHenry County College (MCC).
MCC’s Manufacturing Essentials course runs for 14 weeks. This course will give students exposure to AutoCAD for blueprint reading, measurement and tolerances, worker safety, concepts in 5S, Lean, and team problem-solving. Upon completion of this course, students will be prepared to sit for the WorkKeys exam, which demonstrates their level of achievement in math and reading skills—a key measure that many manufacturing companies are looking for in entry level workers.
Course participants will also be offered job search and placement services upon completion of their training.
Manufacturing Essentials is free to qualifying students. To register or for more information, contact the F.A.S.T. Initiative Project at (815) 455-8718 or email Monica at mdiverde@mchenry.edu.
The F.A.S.T. Initiative Project is provided by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. The project is an equal opportunity program.
