In response to COVID-19, Tri-C leadership has taken action to continue delivering academic services while protecting the health of our students, staff and community.

As of March 20, 2020, all administrative staff are working remotely to help contain the further spread of the virus.

All manufacturing training courses will transition to an online or blended-learning format, consisting of online training and, if applicable, on-site training. All safety precautions will be taken for on-site class and lab work.

Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering

Over the next decade, nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will likely be needed, and 2 million are expected to go unfilled due to a growing skills gap. (Source: National Association of Manufacturers)

Tri-C's Manufacturing programs have been developed in conjunction with industry professionals, aiming to give our graduates the skills to immediately enter the workforce. Recent studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor and the National Association of Manufacturers illustrate the high demand for advanced-manufacturing workers, and the demand is expected to continue growing.

Training programs range from 32-hour workshops to 500-hour programs in which students can earn industry-recognized credentials and certifications. Students may also be able to participate in apprenticeships with leading manufacturing companies.

Specific programs award credit toward an associate degree. For contract training, courses can be delivered by our instructors at your facility.
