This project at Piedmont Virginia Community College is developing an advanced manufacturing education and training program to meet regional and statewide employment needs. Developing and maintaining a highly skilled workforce is a vital factor in sustaining a strong economy. This program responds to that need by training, educating, and certifying a technical workforce to international industry standards. The degree of collaboration among post-secondary faculty, technical educators, and industry is improved by this initiative and the pathway between secondary and post-secondary institutions is being strengthened. The student recruitment plan is carefully designed to attract and retain a diverse population. An organized effort is in place to disseminate the effective practices and outcomes resulting from this project to a broad audience.This grant is working towards the following goals: developing an innovative education and training program in advanced manufacturing; enhancing the advanced manufacturing career pathway between secondary and post-secondary institutions; developing training capacity by establishing an advanced manufacturing lab, an open access curriculum, and project-based-learning (PBL) modules; and supporting regional economic development in advanced manufacturing. The program is being developed by incorporating the multiple fields of engineering technology into one integrated curriculum. The new courses provide students with a broad understanding of advanced manufacturing and the ability to apply the new knowledge in a lab environment that simulates the work environment. By educating students in this manner, as opposed to the usual route of focused training in one field, the industrial base is being presented with well-trained employees.

Piedmont Virginia Community College的该项目正在开发一项先进的制造教育和培训计划，以满足地区和全州范围的就业需求。发展和维持高技能的劳动力是维持强大经济的重要因素。该计划通过培训，教育和认证以国际行业标准的技术劳动力来应对需求。该倡议得到了改善，学院后教师，技术教育者和行业之间的合作程度得到了改善，中学机构和大专院校之间的途径正在加强。学生招聘计划经过精心设计，以吸引和保留多样化的人群。为了传播该项目导致的有效实践和成果，正在为广泛的受众群体传播一项有组织的努力。这项拨款正在朝着以下目标努力：制定高级制造业的创新教育和培训计划；增强中学和专上机构之间的先进制造业职业道路；通过建立高级制造实验室，开放访问课程和基于项目的学习（PBL）模块来发展培训能力；并支持高级制造业的区域经济发展。该计划是通过将工程技术的多个领域纳入一个集成的课程来开发的。这些新课程为学生提供了对先进制造业的广泛了解，以及在模拟工作环境的实验室环境中应用新知识的能力。通过这种方式教育学生，而不是在一个领域的通常进行专注培训的途径，工业基础正在向训练有素的员工展示。
