A $25,000 gift from 3M Greenville’s Community Vibrancy Fund will support the mechatronics program at Greenville Technical College’s (GTC) Center for Manufacturing Innovation (CMI).
The money will be used to outfit mechanical training bays, which will help students learn installation, use, maintenance and troubleshooting of mission critical drive components.The center will offer a unique environment for educating the manufacturing workforce of the future as it showcases the careers and technology in this sector, attracting younger students and career changers to rewarding professions.
“The education and programs that Greenville Technical College will deliver at the Center for Manufacturing Innovation will have a direct connection to 3M operations but more importantly, the long-term vibrancy of the community,” said James Fissette, human resources manager at 3M Greenville.
