There's a grant to pay for your training at Spokane Colleges if you're looking to transition into a manufacturing career
I work for Spokane Colleges and we received a $5.75M grant from the Department of Labor to help train the workforce for advanced manufacturing jobs. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference this grant can make in people's lives. We partner with local employers to design courses that take 6-8 weeks to prepare you for entry-level roles. The starting salaries are $21-28 depending on the field. You just have to be 18+, eligible to work in the U.S., and reside in WA. That's it. Of course you have to work hard, but we try to support our students every step of the way.
Advanced manufacturing uses efficient modern technologies, robotics, & automation. It's not your grandpa's manufacturing. Plus the field is growing like crazy. I was just at a career fair today and employers are begging for people who have even the slightest understanding of the manufacturing process. Employers we colab with are awesome employers.
