2019 AMT Academy

Hosted by Wabash Valley INFAME Chapter. Led by Dennis Dio Parker, founder of FAME.

 PURPOSE OF THE ACADEMY
• Provide professional development training for new staff (employers, education, and others) at existing programs
• Provide professional development training for staff (employers, education, and others) at new programs that are starting.
• Provide “How to” start-up training for new locations that will be starting the AMT Program.
• Teach the first four of the Competitive Competencies: The Manufacturing Core Exercises, for new AMT-designated faculty and other program staff at any program, and for those who will be certifying to teach the MCE’s.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
 • Employer leaders of FAME collaboratives. Employers are the leaders of the program and are responsible to ensure that supporting college partners and others provide the needed educational program and other services.
