Veterans and Others Can Apply for an AMO-sponsored Advanced Manufacturing Internship
Applications are being accepted for the new Advanced Manufacturing Internship program starting today. Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville, TN, developed the curriculum for Veterans with funding from the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO). The new course will engage 20 students for three semesters, provide access to 3-D printers, and supplement the classwork with paid internships at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and local companies. A ceremony was held today, Friday, August 15th, to recognize the first 24 participants in the pilot internship program.
Consideration will be given to active and former U.S. military servicemen and women, U.S. FIRST Robotics participants, undergraduate students, and recent A.A.S./B.S. graduates. Participants must commit to the full, one-year program. DOE is also looking at opportunities to replicate the program elsewhere in the nation, especially where military bases and community colleges can collaborate to train transitioning service members.
