HCC receives $10K donation from B of A for Advanced Manufacturing Center

Housatonic Community College has received a $10,000 donation from Bank of America for its Regional Advanced Manufacturing Center. The manufacturing center’s first offering is the two-certificate Advanced Manufacturing Program that prepares students for advanced manufacturing positions. The yearlong program, which requires a 35-hour-per-week commitment from students, will lead to two certificates, a basic manufacturing certificate and an advanced manufacturing certificate. Both certificate tracks are financial-aid eligible. Pictured, Edwina Lucenius of Stratford, the first female graduate of HCC’s Advanced Manufacturing Program.
