Welcome to the Explore Manufacturing Curriculum Tool!

The mission of the Advanced Manufacturing Sector Board is to provide students and parents the opportunity to learn about the amazing careers available in Advanced Manufacturing. The curriculum resources were developed to give users step-by-step instruction on how to fully use the portal to explore their strengths,  careers that match those strengths and local businesses that  have jobs in those careers.  This portal will allow you to take a O*Net career “self-assessment”, explore manufacturing opportunities (wages, qualifications, etc.), and find out about training and employment opportunities.
