Wins National Attention
The new Advanced Manufacturing Program has captured national attention. The two-certificate program, which began August 29, was the subject of an article in the August edition of League Connections, a newsletter published by the Arizona-based League for Innovation in the Community College. The program is being offered through HCC's Regional Advanced Manufacturing Center, which was created to serve students in 43 towns between the New York state line and the Connecticut River, as far north as the Middletown, Meriden, Waterbury and Danbury areas. A second program offering is set to begin Oct. 1.
