HCC free manufacturing training begins
An entry-level program in manufacturing is being offered at Holyoke Community College for free. Developed in collaboration with local businesses, the program will lead to employment in the Holyoke area’s manufacturing sector. The classes are designed for students who are already employed by area companies or are seeking entry-level positions in the industry. A $50,000 line item in the state budget helped secure the program’s launch thanks to state representative Pat Duffy of Holyoke.
