MWCC opened the Manufacturing Workforce Certification Center in fall 2013 in response to the increasing demand for production workers. Manufacturing accounts for nearly 25 percent of the workforce in North Central Massachusetts, employing more than 14,000 people in the region. The college offers a variety of credit and noncredit STEM programs at its Devens campus, including the Advanced Manufacturing Industrial Readiness Training program, the Analytical Laboratory & Quality Systems Certificate program and associate degree and academic certificate programs in biotechnology/biomanufacturing.
