The AWT WorkAdvance program aims to introduce job seekers to entry-level positions in manufacturing through a short training program at our facility. Each day, a new topic relating to the manufacturing sector is covered. The program includes days focused on blueprint reading, inspection and measurement, shop math, and intro to manual and CNC machines. We cover resume and interview prep, financial literacy, and workplace etiquette. At the conclusion of the program, participants are connected with manufacturers for interviews.
