The MassHire Greater New Bedford Workforce Board visited South Shore Vocational Technical High School’s Advanced Manufacturing training this fall. This cohort included students from Bridgewater State University’s Uniquely Abled EXCEL program. The EXCEL Vocational program provides the individualized supports students need to access career and technical education combined with college experience to successfully transition to a sustainable adult life. The 100 hours of training introduced students to the tools and equipment used in a machine shop, including CNC machines, and also helped them earn their OSHA 10 certificate. This training was funded by a grant from the Center for Advanced Manufacturing at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, in partnership with the MassHire Greater New Bedford Workforce Board.
