The Florida TRADE Manufacturing program is an 11-week course that develops an initial set of technical skills that can lead to certifications, internships and job interviews with partnering manufacturing companies (such as AO Precision, Covidien, Thomas & Betts, and Hudson Technologies), and can provide a fast track to a career in manufacturing. The next series of classes is scheduled to start July 2014.Each information session will be held in room 109 at the college’s Advanced Technology College, located at 1770 Technology Blvd. (off Williamson, approximately one mile from the intersection of LPGA/Williamson). Program staff and instructors will provide information and be available to answer questions.
In September 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor implemented, in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education, the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TRADE) initiative, providing $500 million in grants to community colleges and universities for development and expansion of innovative training programs.
Daytona State College received nearly $850,000 as part of a consortium of 12 Florida colleges that received a $15 million grant, and has created a multi-step training process focused on the region’s workers and industry needs.
