Hi, my name is Zach and I’m a student here in the manufacturing program at CT State Capital. If you’re looking to get into manufacturing, this program’s been invaluable, both in getting certifications that a lot of companies want, like OSHA, Six Sigma, and then just hands-on experience and the instructors are great. They really care about what they’re doing. I would say all or most of them have been through this program too so they know what it’s like to be in your shoes. And it’s been a great experience. |
Foundations of Manufacturing student, Zach Rankin, Class of 2026, speaks to the camera from inside the manufacturing lab. Throughout the video, OSHA and Six Sigma logos pop up, as well as a scene showing an instructor working with students on a machine. At the end of the video, the CT State Capital logo appears on screen. |
