Overview

The Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) Manufacturing Technology Center of Excellence now offers courses at the Eastern Campus in Highland Hills. Programs reinforce the continued growth of Northeast Ohio’s traditional manufacturing industry, addressing employer needs and emerging technologies while preparing new talent to enter the workforce.

Programs
