A College Tech Prep Program
“RAMTEC changed my life. Because the Engineering Class, I am learning to build robotic work cells and I love my job at Xigent Automated Systems. I am using my robotics, machining and PLC skills I learned at RAMTEC on the job everyday.”
At RAMTEC/Tri-Rivers I learned about automation and how important and challenging manufacturing tech jobs are. I continued my education in Electrical Engineering at Marion Technical College. I was also part of a co-op program at Honda. They hired me and now I’m a full-time maintenance tech. When it comes to high skilled jobs in manufacturing, your future starts at RAMTEC.
“RAMTEC Is the best thing I ever did in my life. The first day I walked in here I knew I was home. The skills and certifications I received at RAMTEC helped start my career as an Maintenance Apprentice Technician at Whirlpool.”
Engineering was the perfect program for me. I got lots of hands-on training and participated in the National Vex Robotics competition.
RAMTEC will give me a competitive edge going into any workforce or college. Instead of a company having to train me, I already have the skills. I want to get a 4-year college degree and then get a job making close to that $100,000 figure.”
