HVCC Manufacturing Scholarship

The Advanced Manufacturing Technology program at Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) in Troy, New York prepares graduates to achieve immediate employment working with many of today’s high-tech machining processes that produce tooling, and components used in the manufacture of everything from electronics and semi-conductors to power generators and aerospace components. Covering a wide array of areas relating to the field of precision metal, composite and plastics manufacturing, the student learns how to master the operation of milling machines, lathes, grinders, saws, drill presses and computerized machinery. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), math, the use of business software and process planning are integral parts of the program. Courses are offered both day and evening. For full-time day students, the program will take two years to complete.

The role of NSH USA Corporation is to sponsor a student according to the terms described below. We are currently seeking recommendations or leads for prospective full-time day students. NSH USA will interview each potential candidate and may administer an aptitude test for the Advanced Manufacturing Technology program at HVCC.

Investing in the Future

Investment in technology and especially human capital will, to a great extent, determine what companies in the Capital Region will survive, and which companies will cease to exist. Today, manufacturing companies need people with the knowledge and applied skills to do a multitude of jobs, not just a few. Manufacturing companies need people who are trained in the latest technological fields that include CAD, CAM and all aspects of conventional and computerized machining technology. The employee of today and tomorrow needs to be fluent in the use of all the latest business software in order to integrate his or her technical knowledge and skills into the overall business framework. In-short, company executives will need the graduates of HVCC’s Advanced Manufacturing Technology program. HVCC has invested in the facilities, the latest manufacturing machine tools and computer technology in order to train your present and future employees. HVCC runs both a two-year full-time day program suited for the recent high-school graduate and a four – year evening program for those older employees already on the payroll but needing to update their knowledge and skill sets. In short, the HVCC Advanced Manufacturing Technology program can be your main source for educating the employees you will need in order to compete in today’s manufacturing world.
