Make Manufacturing Your Future
What is Advanced Manufacturing?
Advanced Manufacturing is the integration of technology based system and processes in the production of products (fit, form, and function) to the highest level of quality and in compliance with industry specific certification standards.
Manufacturing as a Career
THEN & NOW
Manufacturing today is much different from the assembly-line work, dark gritty factories and low paying jobs that often come to mind.
MODERN MANUFACTURING IS A SOPHISTICATED PROFESSIONAL WORKPLACE THAT INCORPORATES AUTOMATION, 3-D PRINTING, SCREEN TECHNOLOGY, AND ROBOTICS.
Today’s facilities are safe, well-lit, ventilated, and high tech. It’s now a dynamic field full of opportunity and innovation that promises a career path and job security. Today’s manufacturing careers are sophisticated for both your sons and daughters and depending on your child’s interest, there are opportunities in the industry from marketing and logistics to advanced technical, production professionals, supervisors, and management.
Completing a certificate or a degree from a next generation manufacturing program at a community college is the first step to a rewarding career in manufacturing.

success stories
Josiah Roberts from Waterbury, Connecticut
Josiah was home schooled and was unsure of where he fit into the educational system. He began at Naugatuck Valley Community College and through a cooperative project worked with other students from around the state that looked for better ways to help patients transfer from wheelchair to bed. The result of his experience convinced him that he wanted to pursue studying mechanical engineering; after completing two years at NVCC he has successfully transferred into a four-year bachelors program at Central Connecticut State University.
Wesley Hipolito from enfield, connecticut
Wesley had a difficult time with math in high school but everything changed after he took his first machining class at Asnuntuk Community College. Seeing the way equations could be used to make things helped him see its practical uses. He soon started a program in machining technology and was matched up with an internship at Flanagan Industries, a supplier of complex machined components used in aerospace and land based turbines. Now, after almost three years of working at Flanagan, he has become an integral part of Aerospace's young technician workforce.
