Earn-and-learn model
The Alabama F.A.M.E. (Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education) Advanced Manufacturing Technician Program (AMT) includes a two-year technical Associate degree that combines proven workplace components of apprenticeship with an earn-and-learn model. Students learn about electricity, fluid power, mechanics, fabrication, and robotics in a classroom setting and through on-the-job training with one of our participating manufacturers.
Skills to succeed
FAME Students earn a wage while attending college and gain priceless work experience with a global manufacturing leader — ready to enter the workforce full-time with all the skills needed to succeed.
The result
Graduates of the AMT program will be equipped with the needed skills and experience that many manufacturing companies are actively seeking.

Maybe. There is no obligation for the sponsor company to hire you, nor are you obligated to stay after graduation. Several factors are considered in this situation.
It’s okay if you don’t have any real-world manufacturing experience. Do you like working with your hands? Does the sound of sitting at a desk all day long bore you? Do you have a reputation for being able to take things apart and put them back together? Do you ask “Why?” when something doesn’t work? If so, this program is likely for you!
