You’re smart, career-oriented, and ready for a well-paying career right now. With the TX FAME Lone Star Chapter, you can dive into a challenging advanced manufacturing career while receiving the education needed to build your resume and make you highly marketable to manufacturers across the state.
Once you’re accepted into the TX FAME Lone Star Chapter, you will begin work on a combination education/training program with Texas State Technical College to earn an associate degree as an Advanced Manufacturing Technician (AMT). During the week, you will attend classes at the Central Texas Technology Center and work for a local employer – all while being paid a competitive wage for your work.
After five semesters you will have earned an associate degree in applied science in the Advanced Manufacturing Technician Track, 60 college credit hours, and two years of work experience. At that point, you’ll be ready to enter the workforce full-time with all the skills needed to succeed - and with the potential of no school debt!
