ManpowerGroup and Rockwell Automation recently celebrated the first military veterans to graduate from the Academy of Advanced Manufacturing and secure high-paying jobs in the rapidly-evolving manufacturing industry.
The 12-week programme launched in August combines classroom learning with hands-on laboratory experience. Veterans are trained in Rockwell Automation’s state-of-the-art facility in Mayfield Heights, Ohio for in-demand jobs in advanced manufacturing. The programme expands Rockwell Automation’s long-standing engineer in training program, which combines classroom learning with hands-on laboratory experience, producing hundreds of graduates annually. It also adds to the number of programmes ManpowerGroup provides for military personnel, veterans and spouses.
“In recognition of Veterans Day, on behalf of Rockwell and ManpowerGroup, we thank all our veterans for their service,” said Blake Moret, CEO of Rockwell Automation. “We are honoured to recognise our first military veterans to graduate the Academy of Advanced Manufacturing. We’ve seen their unique combination of core work and tech-savvy skills evolve to position them for careers in the industry. We are confident this programme will help solve a challenge critical to the growth of advanced manufacturing.”
