Ivy Tech Community College is offering a Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) class tuition free as a result of a grant received in 2008 from the State of Indiana Department of Workforce Development. The class, which normally costs $2300 per student, is offered two days each week for nine weeks, from June 23 through August 20.
The class, to be taught by Jeremy Wischmeier at Seymour High School, will be given on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 am until 4:30 pm for the first six weeks and then from 4:30 pm until 8:30 pm for the remaining three weeks.
MSSC is a nationwide training program offered to provide a well-rounded knowledge of the modern manufacturing environment. It is an industry-based skills standard, assessment, and certification system for all sectors of manufacturing, covering the four key areas of manufacturing – safety, quality, production and processes, and maintenance awareness. MSSC issues a Recognition Award for success in each of the four areas and a full MSSC Production Technician Certification for success in all four.
Ivy Tech Community College and MSSC have an agreement making Ivy Tech the exclusive provider in the State of Indiana of MSSC courses. The College has unique expertise in advanced manufacturing and workforce certification through the curriculum it offers at 23 campuses and 25 service centers across the state.
