Building tomorrow’s workforce together

The AOMC Mission

Our mission is to create manufacturer-led solutions in partnership with education, workforce, and economic development that motivate and prepare youth and incumbent workers through skills, training and credentials to enter and advance in manufacturing careers.

For students and parents, we provide internships, job shadowing, and career exploration to show the exciting opportunities in today's high-tech manufacturing.
For educators, we bring training directly to your school with our mobile lab and offer curriculum support to help prepare students for manufacturing careers.

For job seekers and career changers, we provide the skills training and credentials you need to land well-paying manufacturing jobs or advance in your current role.
For manufacturers, we help you find qualified workers, access advanced equipment at our Manufacturing Support Center, and discover funding opportunities to grow your business.
