If you are looking for employees today and the opportunity to influence workforce training in the future - take a look at the QuickStart Program and the Manufacturers' Coalition.
John Tyler Community College has brought together business leadership in the manufacturing and construction trades industries and developed Quick Start, a seven-week, fast-track training program to help prepare individuals for careers in the manufacturing and construction industries; and the Manufacturers' Coalition, a group of like-minded business people with a shared interest in building a pipeline of employees for the future.
The training is free to the employee, except for cost of a mandatory drug screening. Standards are high. In fact, all graduates must achieve a level of competency in Safety, Industry Basics and WorkKeys Applied Technology. Topics include principles of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, electricity and mechanics.
