AbstractWSU-LC has offered the SkillsTrac Industrial Maintenance Technician program since 2007. This program serves three general workforce populations: 1) incumbent workers in an Industrial Maintenance Tech role, incumbent workers looking to parlay their current job in manufacturing into a higher-skilled, higher-paid position, and students who are seeking an Associates in Technical Studies (ATS) with a SkillsTrac concentration. In 2016, we essentially replicated our program, costs, methodologies, etc., and established it at the John Jay Center for Learning (JJCL) in Jay County, Indiana. These nearly identical programs are regularly assessed by WSU-LC staff to maintain consistency. The JJCL program is also geared towards the same three workforce populations and, in addition, those completing the applied tech training at John Jay can have articulated credit into the ATS degree at WSU-Lake with additional credit hours taken at WSU. In 2012, WSU-LC initiated an ABET-approved Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. With the addition of a BAMS degree, we believe we will help solidify manufacturing stability in our area. WSU-LC will not only be able to provide trained engineers to research and design state of the art products, but will also have high-skilled technicians who have the hands-on technical abilities to bring conceptual projects to reality. Small, medium, and large companies all need technically-trained personnel who can work equally well with engineers and shop floor veterans alike. |
