Workforce training
Our Next Generation Manufacturing Training (NGMT) program is San Francisco's first advanced manufacturing workforce program. We support low-income Bay Area residents with the technical trainings and soft skill development to become the workforce of the future. Our 12-week program is designed to up-skill individuals with no prior experience, so they can grow their careers in our expanding manufacturing industry. Our programs focus on both digital fabrication (3D printing, laser cutters) and CNC machining, building a strong foundation in 3D modeling software. Our graduates bring incredible enthusiasm and skill to their future employers.
