Despite the lockdowns and preventative measures put in place across the nation from the COVID-19 pandemic, the ICATT Apprenticeship Program…
Focused exclusively on high-tech manufacturers and companies with complex technologies or logistics, the ICATT Apprenticeship Program is fully benchmarked on the German Dual Education System, a time-tested program that combines company-specific knowledge, theory, and hands-on learning to train a globally competitive workforce.
– Manuel Merkt, President & COO, Hermle USA
“The ICATT Apprenticeship Program is an outstanding opportunity for younger generations. ICATT gave my son a sense of purpose and a direction in his life he’s excited about. He’s become a much more mature person. He works hard because he doesn’t want to let the company down; he even cares about grades more because they matter to the company, not just his mom and dad.”
Cathy Splett, Mother of an Apprentice
“Our two graduates from the ICATT Apprenticeship Program are doing so well. It is an absolute pleasure to see them developing and taking on more responsibilities in our company.”
Gunter Fischer | Engineering Manager | Herrmann Ultrasonics
“Workforce Development is evolving into finding resources that are currently not in the workforce instead of fiercely competing for those that are. This means starting in the high schools and developing students into the next generation workforce. The apprenticeship program is beneficial to both the student and the company. Graduating students obtain a near-debt-free degree and the company obtains a ‘career-ready’ employee.”
Tony Velotta | Organizational Development Leader | Scot Forge
“The apprenticeship pathway is an excellent choice for young adults wishing to pursue a career in Manufacturing. Our company, in partnership with ICATT, can give students a clear career direction, debt-free education, living wage, and tenure within an organization that values them as a trainee, employee, and as a person.”
Lisa Browning | Human Resources Manager | Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corporation
“Our apprentice is only in his second year but has the capabilities of an A-level maintenance technician. It would take someone “off the street” 2-3 years to reach that level. The work/college interaction has really accelerated his learning process.”
