Georgia Piedmont Technical College would like to recognize two special groups of students on this Veterans Day. 🪖 First up is the initial cohort of Veteran students in our Mechatronics Immersive Learning Experience (MILE) program. They started in September and are gaining valuable and highly marketable skills in electricity, robotics, programmable logic controls and more. They are scheduled to graduate on Jan. 23, 2025. This intensive, hands-on program prepares Veterans for success in the manufacturing industry, where they’ll play an essential role in shaping the future of automation and technology. Besides the top-tier training, these students are also being compensated for their time -- making this a true investment in their future. Another hi-tech pathway for Veteran students comes via the Microelectronics & Nanomanufacturing Certificate Program (MNCP). The five-student cohort in this 12-week program will wrap up their studies on November 22. They successfully completed an intensive semester where they attained skills in cleanroom protocol & safety, nanotechnology fundamentals, microelectronics & semiconductor fabrication and more. Thanks to partnering school Georgia Tech for use of their specialized learning space. As we honor their service, GPTC is excited to help these special Veterans take this next step in their careers by providing them with the tools and support to thrive in the growing fields of manufacturing and microelectronics. And if you are a Veteran or know someone who may be interested in either offering, email economicdevelopment@gptc.edu . Thanks to ALL Veterans for your sacrifice and service! 🇺🇸🙌 #GPTCConnects #VeteranStudents #MILE #MNCP

Today we honor all who have served our country. Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸
