A Smart Investment
in Your Most Valuable Asset
For more than two decades, JAMA has been committed to strengthening our region’s manufacturing workforce – not just for today’s open positions, but for the careers and companies that will shape tomorrow. Through industry-driven training, apprenticeships and hands-on learning, we help students, job seekers and incumbent workers build real, in-demand skills that translate directly to opportunity on the shop floor and beyond.
From early exposure to STEM and hands-on manufacturing experiences to advanced technical training and registered apprenticeships, JAMA connects curiosity with clear career pathways. Manufacturers gain access to a growing pool of prepared, work-ready talent, while learners of all ages see a practical way to build a future in modern manufacturing without leaving the community they call home.
JAMA proudly partners with the Shop Rat Foundation and other community organizations to support youth programming and early career exploration, recognizing that a strong workforce starts with a strong pipeline. By aligning education, industry and community partners, these collaborations help ensure south-central Michigan remains competitive, innovative and ready for what’s next.
What do members say about JAMA?
“I think the training went extremely well overall, and I am very grateful to all of you at JAMA who flexed your system to deliver on site training. Feedback from the trainees is that Cory is an excellent teacher. We all understand that you cannot learn everything you will ever need to know in a five week period, but what we have done is achieve a huge step forward in plant safety.”
“The business community and the education community are co-dependent on each other. We have an obligation to work together to create a strong and vital place to live and work. JAMA and the Academy for Manufacturing Careers are great partners with the ISD.”
“The Academy was exactly what I needed to start my college education. It was by far less intimidating than the traditional colleges and much more focused on the student’s specialized needs.”
“JAMA has been my “Go-to” resource for advanced workforce training and development. Their detailed courses and state of the art facility has made a significant impact on the growth of my employees and business.”
