What is the M-Powered project?
M-Powered helps to prepare workers for careers in the metalworking manufacturing industry. Its focus is on lower-wage and unemployed workers. In their first twelve-week session of classroom training, participants are taught basic skills such as applied math, measuring, print reading and job safety. Next, participants complete 480 hours of paid on-the-job training. They go back for another twelve-week classroom session to graduate with industry certification.
