Yesterday, we posted an introduction to the six main community college systems here in Nebraska, giving you information to get you started.

Today, we wanted to continue that introduction and post some information about the different manufacturing education programs at each of the colleges. All of them have a lot of great programs, and what you see here is only the beginning.

Take a look at the manufacturing/skilled-trades related programs offered at the Nebraska community colleges:

Central Community College

One thing we’d like to note is that although all of the colleges listed here have outstanding manufacturing education programs, they’re not just about skilled trades–they also have courses in other subjects, from business, to IT, to architecture and engineering! And, this list isn’t even everything that’s offered.

That means that you’re not just limited to manufacturing. While you pick up the skills needed for your future career in manufacturing, you can also learn about business and technology–or really, whatever else you want to learn!

The community colleges here in Nebraska are outstanding, and they’re a great way to kickstart a career. There’s a reason that , and great educational institutions like these certainly play a part.

If you’d like more information about the programs offered at the community colleges in Nebraska, you should consult the colleges’ individual sites listed here. Or, as always, if you have any questions for us, just let us know in the comments or . We’re always here to help!
