For the first time in its history, Housatonic Community College (HCC) will offer a spring cohort for its Advanced Manufacturing program. The program, which begins on January 22, provides a direct path to well-paying, in-demand careers, and offers many students a full scholarship.
In just eight months, students will gain the technical skills needed to become entry level machinists and receive assistance with internship placements. Upon completion in August, graduates can enter careers with starting salaries ranging from $40,000-$60,000.
“Today, there are thousands of well-paying manufacturing jobs available in Connecticut, but there is a shortage of trained workers. With this new spring cohort, we are transforming lives, creating the next generation of talent, and lifting our economy,” said Dwayne Smith, Ph.D., HCC Chief Executive Officer.

DENVER A new variant of the coronavirus that may be more contagious has been found in a Colorado man who had not been traveling, triggering a host of questions about how the first reported U.S. case of the new version showed up in the Rocky Mountain state.
The new variant was first identified in England, and infections are soaring now in Britain, where the number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients has surpassed the first peak of the outbreak in the spring. The new variant has also been found in several other countries.
Colorado officials were expected to provide more details at a news conference Wednesday about how the man in his 20s from a mostly rural area of rolling plains at the edge of the Denver metro area came down with the variant. Gov. Jared Polis announced the case Tuesday, adding urgency to efforts to vaccinate Americans.
