The National Center for Next Generation Manufacturing is partnering with Central Community College in Columbus, Nebraska, to offer Professional Development opportunities with high schools and colleges in the summer. If you are interested in attending, please complete the following information and return as soon as possible as class size is limited.

Classes must be taken in sequence. It works best if a Community College instructor attends with a high school facilitator who may have an interest in offering dual credit, hands-on training with their local high school.
