WHAT IS FAME?

The Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education, or FAME, managed by the Manufacturing Institute, is the country's premier advanced manufacturing workforce education model.

FAME develops highly skilled, globally competitive, well-rounded and sought-after talent that can meet the unique needs and challenges of today’s modern manufacturing workforce. Every year, FAME graduates transition into well-paying, diverse career pathways in critical disciplines across the manufacturing industry and across the country.

FAME Students attend classes at a local community college two days a week (8+ each day) and will work at least 24 hours a week (8+ hours each day for three days) for a local, sponsoring employer – being paid a competitive wage.
