Toyota AMT Program Graduates Enter Workforce
Back in 2013 Toyota and Alamo Colleges teamed up in order to create the Advanced Manufacturing Technician (AMT) program. Through this program, the two companies were looking to invest in the future workforce of the manufacturing industry by providing students interested in a manufacturing degree and career the chance to work while they learn.
The AMT combines traditional classroom learning with paid, hands-on experience at world-class manufacturing facilities offering the students the chance to graduate with a degree as well as real-world work experience. Currently the program has been implemented in eight different states and there are over 100 participants.
Recently, Toyota Texas and Alamo Colleges celebrated the first nine graduates of the program in the Bexter County area by making them full-time team members of Toyota Texas.
