AMx / Workforce

Building the next generation of manufacturing expertise.

VEC develops workforce programs that connect advanced manufacturing education with real-world industry experience.

Through the Advanced Manufacturing eXperience (AMx), participants work on industry-relevant projects, visit manufacturing facilities, and build the technical and professional skills needed to contribute in real production environments.

Program

Four things every participant leaves with.

Technical AM education

Structured instruction in additive manufacturing processes, materials and design.

Real-world industry projects

Participants work on problems supplied by manufacturing partners, not classroom exercises.

Facility tours

Direct exposure to production environments and the people who run them.

Professional skills

Communication, documentation and teamwork that make technical talent immediately useful.

Have a manufacturing challenge without an obvious answer?

Those are often the problems where VEC can add the most value.
