The students were honored at an August 25 ceremony at the college’s Lower Bucks Campus in Bristol Township. James Sell, the executive director of the Lower Bucks Campus, was the featured speaker.
The training, which began in June, consisted of four days a week of class instruction and once-a-week visits to manufacturing facilities. The program was developed by the college in partnership with the manufacturing business community in an effort to minimize the shortage of skilled labor in the industry.
The free training was funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration. The goal is to provide training to develop the necessary skills to pursue a successful career in our local manufacturing companies.

Although the training is free, students must meet certain criteria to qualify. To learn more about the program, contact Stephanie Wenger in the Center for Workforce Development at 215-968-8478 or stephanie.wenger@bucks.edu.
