    SCC celebrates KY FAME signing day

    Published on Jun 8, 2023

    SCC and KY FAME hosted a signing day where students committed to working for local companies in Advanced Manufacturing jobs.

    Once students apply to be accepted into KY FAME, they begin work on a combination education/training program to earn certification as an Advanced Manufacturing Technician (AMT). They attend classes at Somerset Community College two days a week and work 24 hours a week for one of those local employers – all while being paid a competitive wage for their work. After five semesters they will have earned an associate degree in Applied Science in Industrial Maintenance Technology-Advanced Manufacturing Technician Track, 68 to 71 college credit hours, two years of work experience, and the AMT certification.
