Owensboro, KY (03/13/2023) — Need a new career path, or a boost to get that promotion? Owensboro Community & Technical College's Tech X initiative is a multi-craft technologist program offering hands-on training in a real-world, industrial environment.

Learn more about this innovative program by attending any of the free information sessions: on March 15, March 29, and April 19. The sessions will run from 5-7 p.m. in OCTC's Industry Innovation Center located at 4800 New Hartford Road. TechX offers hands-on construction, fabrication, fitting, welding, and manufacturing training in a real-world, self-paced, industrial environment.

These classes are built on project-based coursework to allow students to move ahead once a particular skill is mastered. It encourages the students to develop those technical and analytical thinking skills that contribute to workflow and production output, skills needed in most entry-level manufacturing positions today. Participants will have opportunities to work independently and in teams with problem-based scenarios related to the manufacturing processes.

Scholarship opportunities are available. TechX also works with employers for possible job placement upon skill mastery. OCTC is currently taking applications for two cohorts of 16 students in each daytime and evening session, for a total of 32 available seats.
