As a proven leader in workforce development, IACMI has built a stellar reputation for its education, training, internship, and workshop experiences in the advanced composites and manufacturing industries. As IACMI looks toward its future in the advanced manufacturing space, its workforce development initiatives have grown in scope and diversity.
