Advanced Manufacturing

Manufacturing is one of the largest industries in our area. The broad Advanced Manufacturing sector provides an array of job opportunities in hundreds of occupations encompassing material science, computer-assisted drafting and design, subtractive and additive manufacturing, mechatronics, rapid prototyping, programming, robotics, welding/fabrication, renewable energy, composites, and reverse engineering. 

Clark College's Advanced Manufacturing Center at Boschma Farms (Ridgefield Campus) will help students aquire skills for family-wage jobs in high demand fields. The program provides pathways through stackable degrees and certificates with multiple entry and exit points. The program currently includes a Certificate of Achievement, a Certificate of Proficiency, and an Associate of Applied Technology degree. 

By working closely with industry and the community, the program will offer in-demand workforce education, training, and development programs -- credit and non credit -- in Advanced Manufacturing.
