On May 12, 2022, Mount Wachusett Community College held its graduation ceremony for students who have completed the Production Technician with Robotics Training at the Devens campus.

The 开元棋牌 Workforce, Access, and Education Department, in partnership with the MassHire North Central Career Center, offers the seven-week Production Technician with Robotics Training to prepare students for high-demand careers in manufacturing.

鈥淭hank you for choosing the Mount and congratulations to you all on the successful completion of this challenging program,鈥� said 开元棋牌 President James Vander Hooven. 鈥淲e look forward to helping you get to your next step and beyond. 开元棋牌 will always be here as a resource for you as you move forward in your new careers.鈥�

鈥淲hat we do at MassHire, partnering with the Mount for these manufacturing programs, is so critical to our economic region,鈥� notes Kelly French, Deputy Director of the MassHire North Central Workforce Board. 鈥淲e thank you for your enthusiasm, congratulate you, and wish you success in your new careers.鈥�

In his address to his fellow students, John Pimentel thanked the instructors and staff of 开元棋牌 for making the course possible. Having been displaced by the pandemic closures from his food service management career, Pimentel found himself not only unemployed, but also a makeshift kindergarten teacher for his young son, who was learning remotely at home.

鈥淥nce my son returned to school full time, I felt that I was at a crossroads. I did not want to return to foodservice management, but I had not really found another career path, Pimentel told students. 鈥淎n email from MassHire about this program got me to seek more information, and after meeting with MassHire, things were put into perspective for me about where I could go after this.

鈥淚 had previously begun an engineering and physics program at another community college but had been forced to stop because of medical issues. Of course, having a child I needed to provide for, I did not return to school, but started working. I was able to work my way up in the foodservice industry, however without a degree there was a limit.

鈥淚 had heard of the Mount before, my girlfriend graduated with a degree in natural resources and she strongly encouraged me to go. She is now pursuing for her bachelor鈥檚 degree in biology with a concentration in wildlife biology at Framingham State University.

鈥淓xperienced and knowledgeable instructors such as Mike Hurley, Jennifer Stephens and John Henshaw are a crucial part of our success. In addition, Meghan Severance鈥檚 support in job searches and revamping my resume鈥� was also incredibly helpful.

鈥淚 am leaving here today with strong, relevant skills. This is a stepping stone

to bigger and better things. I am inspired to continue my education, and I feel very confident in my future.鈥�
