The Advanced Manufacturing Technician Associate Degree program offered by Northwestern State University and Central Louisiana Technical Community College provides an opportunity for students to earn money while they attend school and work for a local employer in their chosen field. In this work-based learning program, students attend classes full time two days a week, and work at a sponsoring manufacturer three days. Students learn essential manufacturing principles and develop productive work behaviors to provide excellent self-development skills sought after by employers. The course work implements a multidisciplinary, multi-skilled model with courses in electrical and mechanical studies including electricity, fluid power, mechanics, fabrication, troubleshooting, and problem-solving. Students participating in the AMT Program will earn an Associate of Science Degree in Engineering Technology from NSU. This degree combined with additional technical courses through CLTCC’s Natchitoches Campus will also result in an AMT Certificate from CLTCC. This program combines a cutting-edge curriculum with paid work experiences with world-class manufacturers. It is more than just a college and a job; it is a pathway to a successful career.
