Dear Lenawee County Manufacturer,
Lenawee Now in partnership with the ISD Tech Center (ISD) and the Southern Michigan Center for Science and Industry (SMCSI) have heard you and we are responding in our continuing quest to meet the training needs of regional employers. We have identified Industrial Maintenance as an urgent training need.
In response, ISD will be hosting a five-course Machine Maintenance Certificate program beginning in March in partnership with the Jackson Area Manufacturers Association’s (JAMA) Academy for Manufacturing Careers. And the SMCSI has a program available in partnership with the Greater MI Construction Academy (GMCA).
The courses in the programs will include Basic Gauges and Measurement, Machine Maintenance and Trouble Shooting, Basic Industrial Electricity, Drive Components and Bearings, and Industrial Hydraulics and Pneumatics. If desired, participants completing the ISD certificate program can continue on for a full, four-year apprenticeship, earning US Department of Labor approved Journeyperson status as an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic. Or in the case of SMCSI an approved certification from the National Center for Construction, Education, and Research.
The ISD will also offer an option to take, or test out of, Industrial Blueprint Reading, which is a prerequisite to their program. For information on the test-out process for Industrial Blueprint Reading please feel free to contact the ISD.
