Aiken Technical College will open its new Center for Energy and Advanced Manufacturing when the college formally opens on Monday, Aug. 17. That news was shared by President Dr. Susan Winsor at the monthly Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce breakfast Friday morning.
The facility will serve as a training center for Aiken County's nuclear and manufacturing workforce. In addition, it will house ATC's advanced manufacturing, welding, radiation protection technology and nuclear quality programs.
"Our future is bright with the number of manufacturing companies in our region," Winsor said. "It's a real opportunity to leverage this facility and work closely with leaders" inside Aiken County.
