Lorain County Community College, one of the 1,500 FANUC
America partner schools, educates advanced
automation students using the “Train Ohio Earn &
Learn” method. The program has a work-study
approach where students can continue to work their full-time
jobs while learning new advanced
automation skills. While designing the program, the faculty
found FANUC was used overwhelmingly in
the local area, so incorporated FANUC automation products to
fully prepare their students for these
in-demand jobs.
Hear more from students who are currently enrolled in the
program as well as the people who are
educating them to meet the advanced automation labor need.
There’s a lot of demand
for automation technicians and
automation
engineers in manufacturing.
Students that have a degree in
automation or
a related field like robotics,
they’re in high demand.
