Delta College issued the following announcement on Sept. 2.
A job training program at Delta College will equip individuals with the skills necessary for entry-level jobs in manufacturing, a type of job that is in high demand right now.
The Manufacturing Warehouse and Logistics Fast Start™ program will train people in the areas of safety, computer skills, hand and power tools, procedure use and communications. Interview preparation will also be provided. The program includes classroom and hands-on training on Delta’s main campus and at a forklift facility.
Jennifer Carroll, director of Corporate Services for Delta, said the program was developed in response to a high demand from regional employers for these types of roles.
“By collaborating with employers, Delta built the training to give participants the skill sets they need to be successful on the job. Our partnership with Great Lakes Bay Michigan Works! makes Fast Start possible and employment a reality for many individuals. It’s a win for the employer, training participant and the community,” said Carroll.
