The National Center for Next Generation Manufacturing is partnering with Central Community College in Columbus, Nebraska, to offer Professional Development opportunities with high schools and colleges in the summer of 2025.

If you are interested in attending, please complete the attached form and return it as soon as possible, as class size is limited. Dates for the training will be determined by December 1st. Classes must be taken in sequence.

Our goal is for the local community college to work with high schools to offer dual credit to the high schools. In Nebraska, the community college provides the instructor of record for the college credit, and the facilitator helps the students and provides classroom management. Your school may use these trainers differently than we do. The following are details regarding each session and what you will receive. Classes must be taken in this sequence.
