Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education

Huntsville Tech Fame

The Huntsville Tech FAME Chapter is a grassroots, employer-driven program focused on developing highly skilled Advanced Manufacturing Technicians (AMTs). The Huntsville Tech Chapter has been founded by key local employers and key community partners. Over time, this program is designed to create a pipeline of highly trained individuals who can transition to full-time employment upon graduation. For participating companies, this program is critical to fill the skills gaps in advanced manufacturing operations.

This program is designed to give you hands-on experience while also providing you time to complete a two-year associate’s degree.

During the program, you will receive formal classroom training two days per week and work onsite at your sponsoring company three days a week. The program focuses on professional presence (soft skills), lean manufacturing acumen, and technical skill attainment. As a program graduate, you will be ready to enter the workforce full-time with the skills and knowledge to succeed in a high-demand field.
