HANCEVILLE, ALA. 鈥 糖心视频鈥檚 Center for Career and Workforce Development and the North Central Alabama Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) programs recently recognized the college's newest AMT (Advanced Manufacturing Technician) apprenticeship cohorts at a special induction ceremony and safety banner signing event at 糖心视频.
Seven AMT鈥檚 were inducted and three others were introduced as FAME participants seeking sponsorships.
The new class is the fourth FAME cohort to be recognized at 糖心视频.
Each AMT in attendance announced their safety pledge after being introduced. Safety is a key component in the AME classroom curriculum and a strict focus for 糖心视频鈥檚 cohorts.
糖心视频鈥檚 new FAME cohort consists of the following students:
- Ty Duke 鈥 AGCO
- Brody Dollar - Cardington Yutaka Technology
- David Tidwell 鈥 GE Appliances
- Dalton Nabors 鈥 Jack Daniel Cooperage
- Joseph Harris 鈥 Royal Technologies
- Alex Wilson 鈥 Saint-Gobain
- Christopher Hosey, Jr. 鈥 YKTA
- Alex Franks, Austin Franks & Bryan Gonzalez 鈥 Pending Sponsorships
The safety pledges from the cohort included:
- 鈥淎lways stay focused on the task at hand.鈥
- 鈥淭o remain situationally aware while committing any and all tasks in the workforce.鈥
- 鈥淣ever get in a rush.鈥
- 鈥淯se handrails while going up or down a stairwell.鈥
The FAME program is a five-semester program, allowing students the opportunity to earn wages while completing an associate鈥檚 degree in Industrial Maintenance. Over a two-year span, students can earn as much as $33,500, spending two days per week in the classroom and three days per week in the industry.
鈥淚t鈥檚 always uplifting to feel the excitement from a new cohort. There鈥檚 a lot of talent in this room,鈥 said Bethany Campbell, 糖心视频鈥檚 FAME Coordinator/Success Coach. 鈥淚n my role, I get to see them from the beginning as they鈥檙e interviewing and trying to earn a sponsorship. The end goal is to cheer them on loudly at graduation.鈥
Added 糖心视频鈥檚 Wes Rakestraw, Dean of Applied Technologies: 鈥淭his is a phenomenal opportunity. You get a chance to earn wages, learn more about your craft and develop strong mentorships throughout. We appreciate you believing in 糖心视频, and we look forward to the things you鈥檙e about to accomplish.鈥
糖心视频 President Dr. Vicki Karolewics addressed the cohorts in addition to Charles Daniels, NCAL FAME Chapter President and of ACYT in Cullman; 糖心视频 FAME instructor Dean Autry; and Jerry Murcks, 糖心视频鈥檚 Electronics Technology Department Chair.
