NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING™ TRAINING PROGRAMS

ADVANCED MANUFACTURING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Preparing individuals for the Future of Work! In partnership with the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the Mayor’s Office, Humanmade is proud to offer San Francisco's first Next Generation Manufacturing Training Program™. This workforce development training is designed to prepare individuals with no prior experience in the manufacturing sector with the skills necessary to achieve employment in the industry. During the 12-week, Monday through Friday program, NGMT participants work to learn topics essential to the manufacturing industry through interactive hands-on projects.

Humanmade's programs currently range from additive manufacturing to CNC operator. The additive program covers the fundamentals of CAD, CAM, and 3D printing, to advanced operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Our CNC operator program also includes the fundamentals of CAD, and CAM, along with entry-level CNC machining, advancing to complicated machining techniques, tool changes, and materials science.

The Next Generation Manufacturing Training Program™ takes a holistic approach to ensuring participants’ success. In addition to over 250 hours of project-based learning, NGMT program participants work with Humanmade’s Client Support and Outreach Coordinator to hone their job readiness skills which include resume writing, portfolio building, workplace etiquette, and financial literacy. Additionally, we conduct regular barrier mitigation meetings with participants to ensure that outside factors do not inhibit their future employment. To ensure their success in the industry, our Client Support and Outreach Coordinator continues to work with NGMT program graduates for at least 1-year after the completion of the program.

Following the completion of the 12-week training, Humanmade will work to connect participants with our network of manufacturers for talented employees. We utilize our established relationships to provide technical assistance to employers, enabling them to recruit individuals from more diverse backgrounds.
