The KCC Manufacturing Technology Program curriculum allows students to learn about the manufacturing industry.
The Manufacturing Technology program at KCC offers four specializations that provide students with fundamental theories in technology processes within manufacturing industries: Manufacturing Welding, Manufacturing Machine Tool, Manufacturing Industrial Maintenance, and Manufacturing TWDL (Transportation, Warehousing, Distribution, Logistics).
Each specialization offers a learning sequence designed to give flexible training options depending on the students’ goals. Students can finish a number of short-term training certificates as they progress through the program, and can join the program at multiple points, depending on assessment results and educational goals.
Each program specialization stresses Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) criteria. The MSSC is an industry-led, training, assessment and certification system focused on the core skills and knowledge needed by the nation’s front-line production and material handling workers. The Manufacturing Technology program was created as part of the Illinois Network for Advanced Manufacturing, which includes 21 Illinois community colleges.
College Certificates (small and advanced) and College AAS Degree in:
