The new age of advanced manufacturing is here – in West Michigan. If you think that manufacturing means working on an assembly line, pushing a button all day, wearing grubby clothes…you are wrong. That’s old school. Manufacturing means making something – something useful and practical, and something you can be proud of.
GRCC has partnered with several West Michigan companies who are looking for you. Through this partnership, the companies are willing to pay for your education, plus pay you to work for them. If you like working with your hands, solving problems, communicating with others about technical issues, this opportunity is right for you.
All AMP students not only go to school full time, but also work a minimum of 20 hours a week at your sponsoring company. You take home a paycheck, and get your college courses paid for as you earn an Associate Degree in either Tooling and Manufacturing or Industrial Maintenance at GRCC. It takes dedication - but the benefits are plentiful! And the payoff doesn't stop there. You also have the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology at Ferris State University.
Applications for Fall 2015 AMP can be submitted from December 1, 2014 - March 1, 2015.
