Training Courses
The Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership (GaMEP) at Georgia Tech offers manufacturing courses to train leaders and team members on topics related to lean process improvement, leadership, quality, advanced technology, safety, energy management, sustainability, and more. Courses are conducted throughout the year at our Atlanta campus, online, or through self-paced learning. We also offer custom courses, held at your facility.
Benefits of GaMEP Manufacturing Courses
- Intensive sessions to quickly gain knowledge and share with other team members
- Benchmarking against manufacturers from around the state and/or country while attending the classes
- Learning through classroom work and hands-on simulations that can translate directly to a real-world setting
- Small class sizes, with enrollment capped at 20 people per course, so everyone can participate in simulations, ask questions, and work closely with instructors to achieve a comprehensive knowledge of the subject
