manufacturing classes
Introduction to Manufacturing is a college-level course offered through Rhodes State that provides students with a broad overview of the manufacturing industry. Students gain exposure to real-world applications through plant visits, hands-on labs, and interactive learning experiences that highlight career opportunities in high-performance manufacturing.
For those seeking further specialization, Semiconductors 101 serves as a complementary course focused on best practices in this highly technical field. Both courses, taught by Dillon Webster, are particularly valuable for students interested in careers in engineering, production, or the trades, and help build the practical skills required in today’s workforce.
Additionally, students benefit from Career Network support services provided by Susan Allen, including resume development and employability skill training to ensure career readiness.
