These short-term training programs will allow students to train for careers in the manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yogasleep, Wilmington Grill, TriTech Forensics, Hitachi, MojoTone, and other local manufacturing employers have expressed a great need to grow their manufacturing professionals,&#8221; said John Downing, vice president of economic and workforce development at CFCC. &#8220;Cape Fear Community College is excited to offer these programs and enable students to learn and excel in lucrative, fast-growing careers. We are committed to helping our community mitigate the workforce shortage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Meeting the Demand<\/h4>\n<p>According to the North Carolina Department of Commerce, an estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.nccommerce.com\/Industry-Employment-Projections\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> 7,467 people employed in manufacturing positions <\/a> will be needed by 2028 in the Wilmington area alone\u2014 and nearly 500,000 statewide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a tremendous need for experienced and entry-level staff to fill the ongoing increase in manufacturing jobs in Eastern NC,&#8221; said Cheryl Morlote, senior people and culture manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/yogasleep.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Yogasleep <\/a> . &#8220;Not only do companies need staff, but the continued influx of new manufacturing companies moving to or starting up across NC also provides huge job opportunities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The job outlook is very promising&#8211;there are over 100 manufacturing companies in our three surrounding counties (Pender, New Hanover, and Brunswick), all with an immediate need to add skilled laborers to their company,&#8221; said Michael Mcwhorter, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mojotone.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Mojotone <\/a> .<\/p>\n<h4>Extensive Opportunity<\/h4>\n<p>Many opportunities are available for individuals who possess a skill set in basic manufacturing principles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These training programs will provide foundational skills for the local workforce that can be applied across many industries,&#8221; said Jim Flock, HSM Machine Works general manager. &#8220;This will open doors to rewarding careers for students while providing a needed pipeline of talented, well-trained individuals for our companies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been in this industry for over five years, I started in the production department, and now, a few promotions later, I&#8217;m an important member of the Quality Department,&#8221; said Sam DiGregorio, lead inspector at HSM Machine Works. &#8220;My time in this industry has taught me that a lot of the myths like &#8220;they&#8217;re not high paying,&#8221; or &#8220;they&#8217;re filthy jobs&#8221; are untrue. They do pay well and offer great benefits. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of these opportunities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Upon completing the programs, students can interview local manufacturing, machining, and production companies.<\/p>\n<h4>How to Get Started<\/h4>\n<p>Registration for the Manufacturing Production Technician program is open now. <a href=\"https:\/\/cfcc-register.fundfive.com\/filtered\/course\/manufacturing\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Sign up <\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/cfcc.edu\/job-training\/manufacturing-production-technician\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> request more information <\/a> today.
