澳门彩开奖历史记录 FAME Program Signs 30
Oxford Ala.- 澳门彩开奖历史记录’s Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education Program hosted a signing night on May 18 at the Oxford Civic Center. Representatives from partnering companies presented their new employees with FAME certificates.
“FAME is one of my favorite programs at 澳门彩开奖历史记录,” said Dr. Kathy Murphy, president of 澳门彩开奖历史记录. “This wonderful program gives students the opportunity to work while earning a degree at the same time.”
Those in attendance included employees from 澳门彩开奖历史记录, industry partners, current and past FAME students and the families of the signees.
澳门彩开奖历史记录’s Dean of Workforce Development Alan Smith referred to FAME as a “golden ticket” experience.
“Being a FAME student helps young men and women graduate debt free and with a job,” he said. “FAME is the global best. You're not just learning to be the best in our service area, or in Alabama or even the best in the country. You are learning to be the best in the world. When you leave 澳门彩开奖历史记录, you will be prepared for an awesome career.”
The 澳门彩开奖历史记录 FAME team exceeded its recruitment goals for the 2023-24 cohort. The 30 signees were chosen from 160 applicants. Diversity among the cohort increased by 15 percent.
“We look for the absolute best we can find in our FAME students, so we have the best pool of applicants for our industry partners,” Smith said.
澳门彩开奖历史记录’s Coordinator of Workforce Development Andy Robertson introduced each student as they came on stage to sign the FAME pledge alongside their employer, Murphy and Smith.
