The Texas Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education (TX FAME) mission is to drive workforce development initiatives across Texas. TXFAME’s primary focus is to develop and grow a skilled pipeline of workers by engaging the current and future workforce in partnership with industry and the community.
Once you’re accepted into TX FAME, you will begin work on a combination education/training program to earn an associate’s degree as an Advanced Manufacturing Technician (AMT). During the week, you will attend classes at a local community college and work for a local employer – all while being paid a competitive wage.
After five semesters, you will have earned an Associate’s 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!
